Benzenberg, Johann Friedrich
(1777-1846),
phyicist and journalist. In 1805 the Prince Elector of Bavaria appointed him professor of physics and astronomy at the Lyceum in Düsseldorf and made him responsible for surveying the country; as an opponent of Napoleon he gave up his office; 1810 went to Switzerland; after the end of the war he published his political writings for the first time as Wünsche und Hoffnungen eines Rheinländers oder Über landesständische Verfassung. This was followed by other books, including Die Verwaltung des Staatskanzlers Fürsten von Hardenberg (1820-21) and Friedrich Wilhelm III. (1821). He thereby incurred the displeasure of the Prussian government; none the less, eventually returned to his academic work.
