Marcus von Niebuhr

Roma 1817 - Oberweiler 1860

German statesman, son of Georg Barthold. After studying law in Kiel, Bonn, Halle and Berlin he worked for the Prussian Ministry of Culture and collaborated with the conservative review Kreuzzeitung, founded in 1848. In the years that followed he became an important politic ian in the Prussia of Frederick William IV who, in 1854, appointed him Cabinet Counselor. In 1856, the theft of some diplomatic documents that he was entrusted with irremediably prejudiced his health. His writings are not significant.
