Life

Victor Wilhelm Friedrich Hauff was a son of the landscape bookkeeper in Stuttgart Johann Gottlieb Hauff and his wife Dorothea geb. Soul. He studied law in Tübingen and then worked as a lawyer at the Tübingen court . In 1796 he became a court relative and at the same time he was accepted as supernumerarius mayor of Tübingen. In 1797 he was also a member of the countryside in the reform state parliament. In 1799 he married Charlotte Regine Moser (von Filseck), a daughter of the physicist Wolfgang Heinrich Moser from Cannstatt . In the same year he became a member of the Select Committee of the Landscape.

Because of alleged revolutionary activities, which could not be proven, he was imprisoned in 1800 alongside Christian Friedrich Baz and other accused as a state prisoner of the Duke and later King Friedrich in the Hohenasperg fortress .

After this incident, he was no longer a member of the Landscape Select Committee. He was a court relative and mayor of Tübingen until 1804, and a member of the regional council until 1805. In that year he married for the second time: Luise Friederike Elsässer, a daughter of Hofrat Gottlob Friedrich Elsässer. Apparently in the same year he moved to Besigheim, where he worked as a judge. Most recently he was chief magistrate there.
