Wilhelm von Eisendecher
Wilhelm von Eisendecher (born May 24, 1803 in Hanover , † March 3, 1880 in Wiesbaden ) was a Minister of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg and Oldenburg envoy to the Bundestag of the German Confederation .
Life
Wilhelm von Eisendecher was the son of Johann Georg Dietrich (von) Eisendechers (* 1773). His mother, Wilhelm von Eisendecher's grandmother, was Louise von Eisendecher, August Wilhelm Iffland's sister . Eisendecher's father was a rider and titular rittmeister in Hanover and stayed in Kassel from 1810 to 1814 . In 1819 he went to Saint Petersburg as an officer in Russian services , where he made it to major and was knighted in 1821 . From 1826 he lived in Stuttgart , from 1835 back in Hanover.
His son Wilhelm, who led the nobility since 1836, studied after school and private lessons 1822-1825 Law in Göttingen , from 1825 to 1826 in Heidelberg and received his doctorate there in 1828 to Dr. iur. In 1829 he returned to Göttingen and wrote a memorandum on civil rights in ancient Rome based on a manuscript in Italian in Göttingen. With a foreword by Arnold Heeren , who also reviewed this work in the Göttingische Gelehrten advertisements , the book appeared in the same year.
Eisendecher, who spoke English , French and Russian , was appointed to read aloud to 73-year-old Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig von Oldenburg in 1828 following a recommendation by Heeren and was soon also regarded as the confidante of Hereditary Grand Duke Paul Friedrich August von Oldenburg . With exemption from the first state examination, he was appointed cabinet and private secretary in 1830 and passed the second examination in 1833. After his appointment as Hofrat (1836), he was also involved in drafting the statutes of the House and Merit Order of Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig in 1836 . Since 1846 secret trainee lawyer, he was appointed to the government of Buttel on December 11, 1849 , where he took over the department of the Grand Ducal House and Foreign Affairs. In 1850 August I von Oldenburg sent him to the Dresden Conference as an authorized representative . On the question of the Danish succession to the Hereditary Grand Duke, he represented Minister of Finance Krell and the direction of the Grand Duke against the Ministers Dietrich Christian von Buttel and von Berg , for whom he successfully acted as a mediator in 1850. After the dismissal of the government of Buttel he was taken over on May 11, 1851 in the new government of Rössing , where he received the same departments as in 1849. However, since he was also appointed envoy to the Bundestag, the Council of State von Rössing took over his representation in the Department of Foreign Affairs during his absence. In February 1852, Eisendecher was released from the position of a responsible member of the State Ministry at his own request and then stayed in Frankfurt as an envoy to the Bundestag, at the same time for the houses of Anhalt and the branches of the Schwarzburg region ( Anhalt-Dessau , Anhalt-Bernburg , Anhalt-Köthen , Schwarzburg- Sondershausen and Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt ) until the dissolution of the Bundestag in 1866. On March 15, 1854, he and Aldephonse Alexandre Félix du Jardin , Minister of Leopold I of Belgium, signed a state treaty between Belgium and the German Confederation. In 1856 he was awarded the title of a Secret Council of State and in 1860 the title of a Secret Council .
Social life
In Oldenburg, Eisendecher soon had connections to the leading literary circles and belonged to the literary-sociable association from 1839 to 1847. He made friends with Adolf Stahr and, after initial antipathy because of his position of trust at court, also with Ludwig Starklof . The friendship with Adolf Stahr was affected by the events of 1848/49. The Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen frequented his home on his visits to Oldenburg in 1843 and 1845 and also lived with him in 1845.
family
Eisendecher was married to Caroline Dorothea Elisabeth geb. Hartlaub (1820–1875), daughter of the Bremen merchant and councilor Carl Hartlaub. Her brother Carl Johann Gustav Hartlaub (1814–1900) and her nephew Clemens Hartlaub (1858–1927) were well-known zoologists . Her uncle, the pastor and writer Wilhelm Hartlaub, is known as a close friend of Eduard Mörike .
The marriage came from the later Vice Admiral and diplomat Karl (1841-1934) and the daughter Christa (* 1852).
