Theodor Rohmer (born February 24, 1820 in Weißenburg i.Bay ; † 1856 ) was a political publicist and writer .

Life

Theodor Rohmer was the brother of Ernst Rohmer (1818-1897) and Friedrich Rohmer (1814-1856). All six children lost their father pastor Johann David (1777–1828), who came from a family of farmers and craftsmen in Möhrendorf near Erlangen , at an early age . Her mother Sophie (1793–1850) came from the Wuerttemberg scholarly family Planck and Friederike Helene Mack, a relative of Karl Mack von Leiberich (1752–1828), an Austrian general and field marshal lieutenant.

Theodor grew up after the death of his father Johann David (1777-1828) with his brother Ernst in the family of the philosopher, theologian and Konsistorialrat Friedrich Immanuel Niethammer , later knight of Niethammer (1766-1848) in Munich , where the siblings together with the Children of the lawyer, royal Bavarian state council and senior consistorial president Karl Johann Friedrich von Roth (1780-1852) were taught. In 1836 he graduated from (today's) Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich with very good results. However , he broke off the theology studies that had started at the University of Erlangen in 1837 , as well as the philosophy studies that had started at the University of Munich in 1839 . His older brother Ferdinand Rohmer enrolled at the University of Munich to study philosophy in 1832 and developed into a conservative philosopher and politician.

At the age of 21, Theodor moved to Zurich with his brother Friedrich Rohmer (1814–1856) . Above all, Friedrich was the spokesman for the Catholic Conservative Party from 1841 and published mainly in its party organ "Observer from Eastern Switzerland ". Gottfried Keller reviled the "son of a bitch (humble) politics" in the Jesuit scolding . After liberal press attacks against his machinations, Friedrich had to leave Switzerland again in 1843 . In 1848 he made the concern of the fourth estate his own by proposing a corporate state with a power balance of the estates. He later turned against reaction and ultramontanism . Friedrich Rohmer's genius was not the only thing that attracted his younger brother Theodor. During Friedrich's lifetime, only smaller pamphlets and pamphlets appeared, some anonymously or under the name of his brother Theodor, including the first of two planned volumes on political parties. After his death, several books from Rohmer's notes and from listener recordings were published, some by his Zurich friend Johann Caspar Bluntschli . Two years later as Ferdinand, Theodor also withdrew from Zurich in 1844. Especially after 1850 he published mythical and fantastic writings. Theodor and Friedrich died in the same year 1856. Theodor was only 36 years old, his brother Friedrich only 42 years old.

Insult by Karl Marx

Karl Marx, in the book The Critical Last Judgment , also reviled Rohmer with the words: You will hear of wars and war cries. All of this must be done in the first place. Because false Christs and false prophets, Messieurs Buchez and Roux from Paris, Mr. Friedrich Rohmer and Theodor Rohmer from Zurich will rise and they will say: Here is Christ! ...
