Philipp von Nathusius (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipp von Nathusius , also called Nathusius-Ludom after his temporary residence (born May 4, 1842 in Althaldensleben , † July 8, 1900 in Berlin ) was a Prussian politician and editor-in-chief of the Kreuzzeitung newspaper .

Life

Philipp von Nathusius-Ludom was the son of Philipp von Nathusius and the writer Marie Nathusius . He studied law and history in Heidelberg and Halle , then learned agriculture a . a. in Hundisburg and took possession of the Ludom manor in the Obornik district ( province of Posen ) in 1866 , which he sold in 1890.

In the autumn of 1872 he took over as chief editor of the Kreuzzeitung newspaper , which he had to resign in 1876 and returned to Ludom. The reason for the resignation were the so-called "era articles" . One of his employees, Franz Perrot , attacked Otto von Bismarck in the person of his banker Gerson von Bleichröder and accused him of corruption - only slightly concealed . At the same time, in the articles heavily edited by Nathusius, Jewish business people, as well as state employees and members of parliament, were accused of being the originators of the founders' row. Because of the anti-Jewish polemics , Nathusius-Ludom and Perrot had to leave the Kreuzzeitung .

Conservative position , 1876

After giving up his work at the Kreuzzeitung , Nathusius kept the management of the Reichsbote he founded for the middle class and Protestant pastors until 1879 . In 1873 he appointed the pastor and writer Heinrich Engel (theologian) (* 1834, † 1911) editor-in-chief of Der Reichsbote .

His Protestant-conservative positions on the emancipation of women , which he represented in the work on the question of women ( Halle , 1871) , also met with wide criticism . He argued vehemently against the professional training and exercise of women. The women's rights activist and writer Hedwig Dohm replied in 1872 in her famous pamphlet What do the pastors think of women with arguments for full social, political and legal equality between men and women.

In 1876 Nathusius took part in the founding of the German Conservative Party , which was in opposition to Bismarck's internal politics. In 1874 he ran in vain for the Minden - Lübbecke constituency of the Reichstag . In 1877 he was elected to the Reichstag for the Conservatives . However, he lost it in 1878 after a tough election campaign, in which both sides did not shy away from personal attacks. The winner was a representative of the Reich Party, which was supported by the Liberals .

After that, Nathusius withdrew from political life. At the beginning of the 1880s he took over the supervision of the land and forest property of Prince Anton von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen near Posen . He received the Nothwendig Palace as his official residence and was given the title of Hofkammerrat . In 1885 Nathusius moved to Rudolstadt and began working on the German Encyclopedia , which was to become a conservative conversational lexicon. He was able to publish the first three volumes before he died in Berlin-Grunewald in 1900.

family

Nathusius married Anna Henriette von Petzhold in 1870. After her death (1883) he married Agnes Holtz in 1885. He and his two wives had a total of 14 children, some of whom died very young. The first marriage comes from the writer Annemarie von Nathusius , the second marriage to the Hamburg councilor , state councilor and SS-Oberführer Engelhard von Nathusius .
