Wilhelm Heinrich Bertling
Wilhelm Heinrich Bertling (* 1811 in Leipzig ; † 1885 ibid) was a German lawyer and politician .
Live and act
The son of the master tailor Johann Heinrich Bertling worked as a lawyer in Leipzig from 1841. He received his doctorate in law on March 19, 1842. In August 1848 he took over the chairmanship of the moderate-democratic fatherland association in Leipzig after the previous chairman, Heinrich Wuttke , had declared his resignation.
In 1849 Bertling represented the 21st electoral district in the second chamber of the Saxon state parliament .
Faced with the threat of arrest for participating in the Dresden May Uprising in 1849 , he fled to London in February 1850 and on to New York and Detroit ; his escape helpers had paid the police officer 400 thalers so that he and the prisoner could flee. From 1856 he was a lawyer and notary in New York.
After the sentence was waived, he returned to Leipzig in 1864 and resumed his practice as a lawyer and notary.
