Gottlieb Friedrich Carl Horn
Gottlieb Friedrich Carl Horn (24 October 1772 – 11 June 1844) was a German jurist and politician.
Biography
He was born at Braunschweig in Lower Saxony, the son of the architect and purser Ernst Wilhelm Horn (1732–1812) and his wife Sophie Dorothea (1737–1787). His uncles were the physician and psychiatrist Ernst Horn and the writer Franz Horn. He married Anna Sophie Schultze (1786–1844) from Bremen.
Horn completed his schooling in Braunschweig, from 1789 at the Collegium Carolinum and studied law at the University of Helmstedt from 1791, at the University of Jena from 1793 and at the Academy in Braunschweig in 1795, and he received his doctorate in law in Helmstedt in 1801.
From 1796 he worked as an advocate and secretary at the criminal court in Braunschweig. In 1796–97 he was secretary to the Prussian Directorial Envoy Christian Wilhelm von Dohm at the Hildesheim District Council and in 1797–99 at the Second Congress of Rastatt. Von Dohm, in the role of envoy, also represented Bremen and its independence and became the first honorary citizen of Bremen in 1797. Horn therefore became well known in Bremen.
From 1801, Horn was second procurator fisci (title for servants in the property or state administration) in Bremen. From 1802 to 1844, he was Bremen senator as successor of mayor Liborius Diederich Post. Among other things, he was responsible for the school system as Scholarch. In 1818, he issued a general instruction for the way the Bremer Zeitung was to be edited, based on a complaint about an article by August Bercht, who lost his job as editor in Bremen in 1819 because of it.[1][2]
During the French period in Bremen, he was a judge at the High Court in Hamburg from 1811 to 1813. In 1820, he had the now listed residential building Kolpingstraße 9 built for himself in the Schnoor district of Bremen-Mitte.
