BARON KARL LUDWIG HEINRICH FREIHERR von der PFORDTEN

My great-great grand father, Baron Karl Ludwig Heinrich Freiherr von der Pfordten was born September 11, 1811 in Ried, Innkreis. According to Wikipedia (translated from German by Google), he was a Bavarian and Saxonian right scientist and politician. He studied in Heidelberg and attaining law and became more extraordinary after his 1833 effected Habilitation (1834) and (1836) tidy professor of the Roman right in peppering castle. In 1843 he became a professor at the University of Leipzig and was promoted to the leader of the Saxonian liberals. That led in March 1848 to his appointment as the Saxonian interior and Secretary of cultural affairs (brief also to the minister of foreign affairs) in the total Ministry under the presidency of Karl Brown. After the end of his appointment, on February 24, 1849, he became the Bavaria's Minister of Foreign Affairs in April 1849. In December the same year, he also became the Presidency in the Council of Ministers. As realisable his tendency did not prove to create from the German central states a third power between Austria and Prussia why it withdrew. King Ludwig II, again made him the Chairman in the Council of Ministers in 1864. After the failure of his mediation efforts between Prussia and Austria and the military defeat against Prussia he withdrew finally.

He married Matilda Dreossi, an Austrian woman. According to my late grand father, they were bestowed with five offspring, two boys, and three girls. However, according to Wikipedia (translated from German by Google), OTTO FREIHERR von der PFORDTEN was also their son. I found out from Maltageneology that Ludwig do have another daugther by the name of Helen von der Pfordten.
