Julius Dickert (25 June 1816 – 12 August 1896) was a teacher from West Prussia who later entered into politics.
He attended the protestant Gymnasium (secondary school) at Elbing, a short distance to the east, before progressing to the University of Königsberg where, starting in 1837, for three years he studied Protestant Theology then moving on to include Philology.
[2] Dickert was a founder member of the Progressive Party, established in 1861 to try and preserve the hopes for political liberalism that had been disappointed after the revolutionary stirrings of 1848.
[2] The Progressive Party ended up with 45 of the 382 seats in the Reichstag and Dickert served on the 7th parliamentary committee during the lifetime of the parliament, which lasted till the start of 1874.
[2] However, the life of the 1877 parliament was cut short at the instigation of the Chancellor, and after the 1878 general election Königsberg was represented in the Reichstag not by a Progressive but by Otto Stellter of the Free Conservative Party.
