Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GAGERN, HANS CHRISTOPH ERNST, BARON VON (1766-'852) , German statesman and political writer, was born at Kleinniedesheim, near Worms, on the 25th of January 1766. After studying law at the universities of
Leipzig
  and Gottingen, he entered the service of the prince of Nassau-
Weilburg
 , whom in 1791 he represented at the imperial diet. He was afterwards appointed the prince's
envoy
  at Paris, where he remained till the decree of
Napoleon
 , forbidding all persons born on the left side of the Rhine to serve any other state than France, compelled him to resign his office (1811). He then retired to Vienna, and in 1812 he took part in the attempt to excite a second insurrection against
Napoleon
  in
Tirol
 . On the failure of this attempt he left Austria and joined the headquarters of the Prussian army (1813), and became a member of the board of administration for north Germany. In 1814 he was appointed
administrator
  of the Orange principalities; and, when the prince of Orange became king of the
Netherlands
 , Baron Gagern became his prime minister. In 1815 he represented him at the congress of Vienna, and succeeded in obtaining for the
Netherlands
  a considerable augmentation of territory. From 1816 to 1818 he was Luxemburg
envoy
  at the German diet, but was recalled, at the instance of Metternich, owing to his too independent advocacy of state constitutions. In 182o he retired with a pension to his estate at Hornau, near Hochst, in Hesse-
Darmstadt
 ; but as a member of the first chamber of the states of the grand-duchy he continued to take an active share in the promotion of
measures
  for the welfare of his country. He retired from public life in 1848, and died at Hornau on the 22nd of October 1852. Baron von Gagern wrote a history of the German nation (Vienna, 1813; 2nd ed., 2 vols., Frankfort, 18251826), and several other books on subjects connected with history and social and political science. Of most permanent value, however, is his autobiography, Mein Anteil an der Politik, 5 vols. (
Stuttgart
  and
Leipzig
 , 18231845).
Of Hans Christoph von Gagern's sons three attained considerable eminence:
