Life

Theodor Ernst Stever was the son of the Rostock lawyer of the same name, mayor and landowner. After attending school in Rostock, he studied law, first from 1831 at the University of Berlin , then from 1837 at the University of Rostock . in Rostock he became a member of the Corps Hanseatia Rostock in 1837 . His father had bought the Wustrow peninsula for him in 1820; from 1835 he became the heir to Wustrow and landlord there.

Stever belonged to a group of bourgeois landowners who were eligible for parliament and who long fought for equal rights with the noble members of the knighthood who were privileged in the estates government. From March 28 to April 4, 1843 there were initially unsuccessful negotiations between Ulrich Carl Adolph von Bassewitz on Schimm , von Bernstorff on Wedendorf, von Lowtzow on Klaber, Jasper von Oertzen on Leppin on the one hand and August Schlettwein on Bandesltorf, Dencker on Knegendorf, Hans Carl Peter Manecke on Vogelsang and Stever on the other hand. In November 1843, after pressure from the Grand Duke, the indigenous and welcomed nobility renounced the sole eligibility to the Select Committee , and in 1846 Stever was one of the first two civil knightly members of this class co-government organ. During the revolution of 1848, Stever belonged to the wing of the liberal landowners in Mecklenburg. He was a member of the pre-parliament , became Minister of Finance of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1848/49 and elected member of the Mecklenburg Assembly of Representatives in 1848 in the constituency of Mecklenburg-Schwerin 9 ( Rehna ). He was the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg-Schwerin State Councilor.
