Julius Freiherr von Soden (5 February 1846 – 2 February 1921) was a German colonial official and politician. He was the Governor of the colonies of Kamerun and German East Africa, and later became ''Chef de Cabinet'' and Foreign Minister of the King of Württemberg. ==Youth and education== Julius von Soden was born on 5 February 1846 in the barracks of the 7th Infantry Regiment in Ludwigsburg, where his father was Lieutenant Colonel. He was a member of the Evangelical Church. In 1849 the family moved to Stuttgart. His parents died early. His mother Marie, née von Neurath, died on 28 March 1849, and his father Julius on 13 April 1854. Julius and his three older sisters were raised by his grandmother, Charlotte von Neurath.〔Charlotte von Neurath was the widow of the Wurtemberg Minister of Justice Constantin Franz Fürchtegott von Neurath and mother of Württemberg Minister Constantin Franz von Neurath〕 He started school in Korntal, then went on to high school in Stuttgart. His temporary tutor Julius Klaiber and high school teachers inspired him with an interest in antiquity, and he aspired to become a classical scholar. Throughout his life, Soden enjoyed classical authors, especially Homer and Dante. His view of the world was at first strongly influenced by David Strauss and then increasingly by Immanuel Kant. After graduating in 1864, Von Soden began the study of law at the University of Tübingen, where he joined the ''Corps Suevia Tübingen'' student society. In the fourth semester, he moved to Göttingen. The Austro-Prussian War of 1866 created an issue, since Von Soden was a reserve class officer and a strong supporter of Otto von Bismarck, while his family sympathized with Austria. He avoided the problem by remaining in Göttingen on the basis that it was impossible to travel to the south in wartime, only returning to Tübingen for his examinations in 1869. Von Soden then became a legal clerk in Heilbronn even if he had more interest in jurisprudence. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, von Soden was an enthusiastic volunteer, serving in the 4th Württemberg Cavalry. He saw little action, and when peace returned left the military and returned to his legal studies, passing his second legal exam in the fall of 1871. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julius von Soden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
