Live and act

The son of the estate leaseholder Johann Gottfried Oehmichen (1785–1855) attended the town school in Döbeln until 1822 . By 1824 he followed private lessons in Hainichen and then completed an agricultural apprenticeship on his parents' property in Zschackwitz by December 1825. In June 1826 he became an economics scholar at the Glaubitz manor and from 1828 worked there as an administrator. In 1829 he was employed as head administrator at the Graflich Einsiedelschen Rittergut Ehrenberg . From 1835 to 1841 he leased his parents' property and in 1841 acquired a larger farm in Lüttewitz , where he served as a magistrate and community council for five years. In 1847 he sold this property and instead acquired the castle and manor Choren with Wetterwitz and the Brauschenkengut Choren Obertoppschedel, which included 235 hectares of land.

As a representative of the 16th electoral district, Oehmichen was for the first time a member of the Second Chamber of the Saxon State Parliament in 1849/50 , where he voted for the abolition of the death penalty . He did not belong to the restituted Landtag in 1850/51, but was then re-elected to the Chamber as a representative of the 10th rural constituency from the Landtag in 1851/52. He belonged to the conservative parliamentary group and held the office of vice-president of the chamber from 1860 to 1869. He called for improvements in Saxon suffrage as early as 1860. After the suffrage reform in 1868 , he represented the 17th rural constituency from 1869 until his death. In the spring of 1870 he joined the German Progressive Party . From 1857 to 1875 he was a member of the parliamentary committee for the administration of the national debt and from 1863 to 1875 chairman of the finance deputation.

From February 1867 to January 1877 he was a member of the 10th Saxon constituency (Nossen-Roßwein-Waldheim) in the constituent and ordinary Reichstag of the North German Confederation and in the Reichstag of the German Empire .
