Otto Vienna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Wien , completely Otto Gottvertrau Wilhelm Wien (born May 9, 1799 in Kleefeld, today part of Cambs ; † July 13, 1868 in Hohenfelde, now part of Lalendorf ) was a German landowner and member of parliament.

Life

Otto Wien was a son of Kleefeld's landlord, Ernst Carl Friedrich Wien († 1812), and his wife Helena Sophia, b. Gau.

Hohenfelde manor house (around 1912)

In 1829 he acquired the Hohenfelde feudal estates with Friedrichshagen (527.5 hectares ) and Wattmannshagen (558.3 ​​hectares), now districts of Lalendorf, for 333,000 marks . He had considerable renovation work carried out on the property and thus increased the yield. Of the total of 1,086 hectares, 675 hectares were arable land, 200 hectares of meadows and pastures, 137.4 hectares of forest and 37.5 hectares of lakes ( Warinsee and Radener See ). He built up a herd of 1,500 Negrettian sheep ( related to the merino sheep ) who produced 60 quintals of wool a year. The grain sales were 4,000 quintals a year. Especially during the Crimean War from 1853 to 1856, high grain prices led to large profits.

With the acquisition of the manor, Vienna became part of the knighthood and eligible for state assembly . Within the Mecklenburg knighthood, Vienna was part of the opposition of the bourgeois landowners who had been fighting against the privileges of the nobility since the 1830s and who sought to reform the outdated system of the constitution of the Land constitution of 1755 according to liberal principles.

In 1844/45 he was next to Rudolf Müller and Samuel Schnelle , with whom he was close friends, one of the middle-class landowners who granted August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben asylum in Mecklenburg. In October 1845 a farewell party for Adolf Fuchs , who had decided to emigrate to Texas , took place on Hohenfelde , for which Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote his poem Stern von Texas .

In the spring of the revolutionary year 1848 he was one of the representatives of Mecklenburg in the Frankfurt pre-parliament , which was supposed to prepare the election of the Frankfurt National Assembly. To this end it worked closely with the Bundestag of the German Confederation . The assembly met from March 31 to April 3, 1848 in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt .

Even after the breakdown of constitutional and democratic aspirations in Mecklenburg as a result of the Freienwalder arbitration award of September 14, 1850, he advocated a return to the constitution adopted in 1849 and a representative parliament, as in a motion that he supported but unsuccessful the Diet of 1860, imbued with the conviction that only a constitution in which the legitimate wishes and interests of all parts of the people are appropriately represented and adequately taken into account can provide the necessary remedy and permanent security .

Georg Adolf Demmler dedicated his expansion and beautification plan to the royal seat of Schwerin to him and Samuel Schnelle in 1866 . Walter von Funke learned agriculture and especially beef fattening on Hohenfelde in the 1850s .

His son Wilhelm Wien took over the goods.
