Biography
Born in Mannheim . He studied law and political science at the University of Heidelberg , in 1829 he joined the Baden Ministry of Finance.
Since 1830 he was fascinated by revolutionary ideas, for his article Zeitgeist in 1834 was persecuted for his free-thinking and had to leave the Baden service; left for Switzerland, where he worked at Jeune Suisse and was at one time a school teacher in the canton of Solothurn . When the obstacles to his return to his homeland were removed in 1840, he was elected a member of the Baden Chamber of Deputies, where he often opposed the government. He founded the Deutsche Zeitung in 1844 with the goal of promoting the idea of national unification of Germany under the authority of a constitutional monarch.
Holding this view, Mati openly opposed the extreme party. In 1848, he took an active part in both the meetings preceding the convocation of the Frankfurt Parliament and in himself. At meetings in Gotha and Erfurt, he tried to save, which is possible, from the imperial constitution. Called to stand at the head of the Baden Ministry of Finance (May 26, 1849), but a few days later (June 3) dismissed, Mati went into banking.
In 1854, he became a leading employee of a private German bank . A. Schaaffhausen'scher Bankverein in Cologne , Germany's first stock-based bank. In 1855, Mati also headed the Berlin bank Disconto-Gesellschaft , participating in the founding of its subsidiary bank in Gotha . Gothaer Privatbank and becoming its first director (1857-1859). Since 1859, he led the Leipzig bank Allgemeine Deutsche Credit-Anstalt (1859). [2]
In 1862, he was reappointed Minister of Finance, and then Minister of Commerce. When supporters of the war with Prussia took the lead in Baden in 1866, Mati resigned on June 30, but on July 27 he again became the head of the ministry. In subsequent years, he tirelessly strove to increase the well-being of the country and to introduce in it the same military institutions that existed in northern Germany.
