Wilhelm Schemmel

Wilhelm Ludwig August Schemmel (born August 21, 1839 in Unterwüsten ; † November 18, 1909 in Detmold ) was a Lippe landowner and member of the state parliament.

Life

Wilhelm Schemmel was the son and the only child of a desert landowner. He attended high school in Gütersloh. One of his classmates was the later President of the Reichstag, Count Udo zu Stolberg-Wernigerode . On November 18, 1864, Schemmel married Emilie Klocke (* June 23, 1842; † September 5, 1872) and together with her they acquired Gut Röntgenorf in Hohenhausen . They had two daughters, one of whom died as a child. After the death of his father in 1881 he moved to his parents' estate in Wüsten.

In January 1871, most of the Lippe state parliament members resigned from their offices. No agreement was reached on a new electoral law and various grievances, including the resistance led by Franz Hausmann from the German Progressive Party against the sovereigns' hunting privilege, led to the dissolution of the state parliament. In a meeting of notables convened by Adalbert von Flottwell in 1872, Wilhelm Schemmel first appeared on the political stage as a member of the Conservative Party . The Conservatives campaigned for the monarchy and Christianity. Only after the death of Prince Leopold III of Lippe . his successor Woldemar was able to convene a state parliament at the beginning of 1876, whose only task was to pass a new electoral law. Wilhelm Schemmel also worked on drafting the law. In October / November of the same year elections took place in which Wilhelm Schemmel was elected to the state parliament.

He was also confirmed in the subsequent state parliament elections ( 1880 , 1884 , 1888 , 1892 , 1896 , 1900 , 1904 , 1908 ) and thus belonged to the state parliament until his death.
