Lehmann, Orla

▪ Danish politician
in full  Peter Martin Orla Lehmann  
born May 19, 1810, Copenhagen, Den.
died Sept. 13, 1870, Copenhagen

      political reformer who successfully advocated parliamentary government in 19th-century Denmark.

      As a student leader in the 1830s, Lehmann was an outspoken critic of Denmark's absolute monarchy. In the 1840s he was a leader of the National Liberal Party, which called for parliamentary government, a liberal economic system, and incorporation of the affiliated duchy of Schleswig into the Danish state.

      Lehmann was a leader of the nationalistic demonstrations of March 1848, which resulted in a liberal constitution, a popular ministry, and war against the separatists of Schleswig. He also became a minister without portfolio in the March (provisional) cabinet. Although a liberal until 1848, Lehmann turned to the political right after that year, especially over the issue of increased peasant representation. In 1851 he was elected to the lower house of the new Parliament, and from 1854 to 1870 he sat in the conservative upper house. He also served as a member of the Council of State (1855–66). In 1861–63 he served as minister of the interior in the National Liberal government, which precipitated the disastrous Danish war against Prussia and Austria (1864).
