from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Tritscheller (born June 29, 1822 in Lenzkirch ; † April 20, 1892 there ) was a manufacturer and member of the Reichstag .

Live and act

Tritscheller was the son of an innkeeper in Lenzkirch, where he met Friedrich Hecker during the Baden Revolution in 1848 . As a result, he took part in the revolution as a captain of the Lenzkirch vigilantes , which is why he fled to Switzerland for six weeks, arrested on his return and placed under police supervision for two years.

After that he was economically quite successful and was a member of the board of the trading company Faller, Tritscheller u. Co., co-founder of the Aktiengesellschaft für Uhrenfabrikation Lenzkirch and the wire and screw factory Falkau . From 1865 to 1872 he had a seat in the second chamber of the Baden state parliament . From a replacement election on April 16, 1872, he represented the constituency of Baden 5 (Freiburg, Emmendingen, Waldkirch) for the National Liberal Party in the Reichstag until 1877 . There he was particularly committed to the construction of an east-west railway connection from Donaueschingen via the Höllental and Freiburg to Colmar , which was later realized with the Höllentalbahn and the Freiburg-Colmar railway .

House Tritscheller in Lenzkirch

His estate is in the Freiburg City Archives . On his house built in 1848, the Tritscheller house in Lenzkirch, a plaque reminds us that the wealthy businessman turned away from the local architecture and instead opted for three-story urban architecture. In the house next to Trischeller lived Oskar Spiegelhalder , who was also a member of the board of the Aktiengesellschaft für Uhrenfabrikation and later its director and whose folklore collections can be viewed in several Baden museums.
