For the 4th semester he switched to the Georg-August University . Like Hermann Kellermann , he was reciprocated in the Corps Hercynia Göttingen in 1896. It was then that his student history interest in family records awoke . After another three semesters, he went to the University of Basel as an inactive . There he found a connection to the “Verein Tähiger Arbeiter”, a forerunner of the Rodensteiners, which Bartsch founded two years later.

Freiburg i. Üe.

In the summer semester of 1897, he and two friends moved to the eight-year-old University of Freiburg (Switzerland) . He was enrolled in law from June 1897 until the winter semester 1910/11. He passed his licentiate in 1898. After an assistantship with Gustav Ruhland and a work as a trainee in the law firm Cosandey & Clémence, he was admitted to the bar in July 1904 with brilliant results. He had found his real home in Freiburg im Üechtland . He acquired municipal rights and thus Swiss citizenship on July 11, 1902 in Muntelier , where he married in 1914. After some time with Cosandey & Clémence, he founded his own office and later with Louis Dupraz and Max Richter the étude (law firm) Bartsch-Dupraz-Richter . From 1921 to 1936 he was chairman of the Freiburg Bar Association. His preferred field of work was civil law .

Great advice

In 1911 Bartsch was delegated to the Grand Council of the Canton of Friborg as representative of the lake district (Friborg) and in 1921 was elected député (Grand Council) of the Saane district. He was particularly committed to civil rights and democratic freedoms. For Freiburg's university and urbanity, he campaigned against great opposition in his own party. When it came to the university's projects, Conservative State Councilors Georges Python and Joseph Piller always found his support. As the Spiritus rector of the Liberal Radical Party , he was President of the Grand Council in 1926 and 1949, and in 1951 senior official. After 45 years of parliament, he resigned from the Grand Council in 1956.

Swiss corporations

In 1898 Bartsch founded “Die Rodensteiner”. They later elected him an honorary member. As a gun attendant, he had been in contact with the Rhenania Bern Academic Gymnastics Association since 1904 . A member brought him to Schlaraffia in 1914 . The gymnastics elected him an honorary member in 1916. When the Swiss Armed Forces Ring was founded , Bartsch took part in drafting the statutes as well as the fraud and honorary court regulations. He signed the petition submitted to the Council of States by the Swiss Arms Ring in 1931 for a fair assessment of the scale . He spent his holidays in Italy and in the Gurnigelbad . He did not travel to other countries or to northern Germany. For the 100th Foundation Festival of Teutonia-Hercynia (1954) he sent his daughter Edith Cécile, who met her future husband there. As a weapons student , student historian and politician, Bartsch was a role model for his partner Max Richter, who was 19 years his junior . He wrote a foreword for his book on the Swiss student associations (1927/1935) . He died at the age of 86.
