from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Valentin Kinscherf (born November 17, 1793 in Birkenau , † September 3, 1857 there ) was a Hessian miller and member of the state parliament .

Valentin Kinscherf, who was a Catholic denomination, was a son of the master miller and court relative Johann Georg Kinscherf (1763-1808) and his wife M. Margaretha Heinrich (1764-1814). He married on April 21, 1818 in Birkenau Elisabetha Sommer (1797-1860), Catholic, from Weinheim , the daughter of the master butcher Matthäus Sommer (1745-1828) and M. Apollonia Degen. The marriage resulted in eight daughters and five sons, of which four girls and one boy died in childhood.

He took over his father's mill (the so-called Carlebach mill) and worked as a master miller. The Carlebach mill was first mentioned in 1461 as a "hanging mill" and had been owned by the Kinscherf family since 1756.

Valentin Kinscherf, who represented radical liberal positions, ran for the second chamber of the state estates of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the Hessian state elections of 1847 . He was elected constituency Starkenburg / Wald-Michelbach in the state parliament.

At the beginning of the following year, the German Revolution broke out in 1848/1849 , which was enthusiastically supported by Valentin Kinscherf. He represented the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the pre-parliament .

Many changes were passed in the state parliament: the separation of the judiciary from the administration , the introduction of jury courts and the preparation of a new constitution. He supported the March government of Heinrich Karl Jaup . Kinscherf belonged to the state parliament until its dissolution on May 24, 1849.

In support of Gustav Struve's putsch , an attempt was also made in Weinheim on September 23 to sabotage the Main-Neckar railway in order to prevent troop transports to suppress the uprising. Valentin Kinscherf was not involved, but his sons Joseph and Ferdinand were. After an unladen military train crashed the same evening, causing high property damage, Joseph and Ferdinand Kinscherf were arrested and later sentenced to two years in prison.
