Life

Origin and education

Salentin of Cohausen came from a middle-class officials gender, on June 8, 1782 (according to another source on 8 June 1792) in the knighthood was charged. His father was the Electorate Secret Council and Court Court Director Carl Caspar Hubert von Cohausen (1741–1806), his mother Augustine Elisabeth von Cohausen, born von Umscheiden von Ehrencron (1745–1784). After studying law in Erlangen and Heidelberg (1803/1804), he entered the imperial French service, first from 1806 to 1807 as Chevalier d'ambassade in Madrid and later as directeur des estafettes (director of the Imperial French Post) in Rome. He came to the latter position through the mediation of the Beauharnais family , related to him , his older sister Christine Louise (1775-1822) was married to François, marquis de Beauharnais , a brother-in-law of Joséphine de Beauharnais , who had married Napoleon Bonaparte in her second marriage . During the time in Rome in 1812, their son Karl August von Cohausen was born there.

After the transition of the Rhineland to the Kingdom of Prussia as a result of the Congress of Vienna to Prussia , Cohausen moved from French service . Romeyk states that Salentin von Cohausen took over the provisional management of the districts of Zell (for nine months) and Kreuznach in April 1816 . At the same time, Romeyk lists in the vitae of the officials there under Damian Bitter in Kreuznach his appointment as district commissioner also for April 1816, as well as Bitter's definitive appointment as district administrator in Kreuznach with the highest cabinet order (AKO) of January 16, 1817 the post of district administrator in cell are Romeyk on to analyze relevant archival material that Friedrich Alexander Moritz was sworn in on 27 August 1816 as landrätlicher Commissioner there and used definitively on 16 January 1817 AKO as a district administrator. In 1817, Cohausen was employed as an unskilled worker in the royal government in Koblenz . The district commissioner was the chief official of a district until a district administrator was appointed.

Career

With AKO from July 3, 1818, Salentin von Cohausen was entrusted with the administration of the Cochem district office , before he was transferred to Saarburg a few months later with a new AKO from October 19 of the same year to do what had been there since the early death of Jakob Staadt (27 June 1818) to take over the district administration commissioned by Damian Goertz . In Cochem, the previous district commissioner, Peter Franz Oster , was appointed district administrator with AKO on the same day.

At her own request, Salentin von Cohausen and Dimissoriale were retired on December 28, 1846 as district administrator of the Saarburg district on March 31, 1847 after almost three decades. At the highest level he was awarded the Order of the Red Eagle 4th Class and in 1861 the Order of 3rd Class.

While Cohausen was always concerned about the welfare of the district during his service in Saarburg, he lacked a sound knowledge of the relevant legal situation and the desire to make it the model of his work. Rather, he often acted hastily and passionately. For the superior government in Trier, this resulted in a weakening of the authority of the district council towards the mayor's offices. They did not follow the orders of the district administrator, but complained about them to the government.

family

The Catholic Salentin von Cohausen married on July 10, 1811 in Heidelberg Amalie Anna von Leoprechting (born June 27, 1793 in Heidelberg; died 1879), a daughter of the chamber president and privy councilor Joseph Freiherr von Leoprechting and his wife Catharina Antonie Freifrau von Leoprechting from Oberndorff.
