Moritz Wiggers

Moritz Karl Georg Wiggers (October 17, 1816 – July 30, 1894), German politician, started out as a lawyer and a notary in his home town of Rostock.

The Revolution of 1848 prompted him to enter public life as a representative to the Mecklenburg constitutional convention, of which he was also elected president.

Wiggers regarded this action as illegal and called the legislature to meet again, but this was prevented by force.

A police agent had infiltrated Wiggers' democratic club, and in 1853, he was tried for conspiracy and imprisoned.

In 1867, he was elected as representative from the third Berlin precinct (not being permitted to run in Mecklenburg) to the Reichstag of the North German Confederation.
