Theodor Huber (Vogt)
Theodor Huber (born July 13, 1758 in Nendingen , † March 16, 1816 in Triberg ) was Obervogt of the Obervogteiamts Triberg.
Career
From 1778 he first studied theology in Freiburg , then law, and after completing his exams and gaining a doctorate in both rights, he found employment at the municipal court of the city of Freiburg. In 1795 he became government advocate , later chief bailiff to his royal and imperial majesty .
The rule of Triberg was owned by the Counts of Hohenberg until 1355 and then moved to Upper Austria .
He retained this office even after the reorganization of 1806 as the Baden Obervogt or Oberamtmann in Triberg. In 1810, as a Baden sub-delegate, he headed the border negotiations between the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Württemberg over Black Forest areas.
Political orientation
Since the Black Forest watch industry was not doing well at that time, he opened up new perspectives for people with the Tuscan straw weaving and the refinement of fruit tree cultivation . In addition, he promoted the cultivation of arable land and meadows , the clearing of new fields and their irrigation . He tried to solve the transport problem for wood removal by building paths and mountain roads, for example from Triberg to Villingen and to Haslach . Recognizing the attractiveness of the Triberg waterfalls , he cleared the surrounding forest and built easy access paths to it.
Aftermath
The Baden folk writer Heinrich Hansjakob documented life with his precise notes and described Theodor Huber as a “tireless governor” and “benefactor of all the poor”.
To this day he is considered an honorable man in Triberg, which is reflected in the Obervogt-Huber-Straße , the Huberweg , the Huberfelsen and the Hubertanne .
