Life

Anneke was the son of a Prussian Upper Mountain inspector who had moved for professional reasons, with the rise of the Ruhr mining from the Mark Brandenburg in Westphalia Dortmund. The Annecke family is originally from the village Schadeleben in present-day Saxony- Anhalt.

About Anneke's activities during the revolution of 1848/1849 nothing definite is known. After studying mathematics, science and law at the University of Berlin, he trained as a mining service that led him to many parts of Europe. In 1849 he emigrated with his brother Fritz in the U.S., where he was first employed as a journalist for the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung and later settled in Michigan, where he co-founded the Republican Party and in 1862 the first Republican Auditor General (about the same President of a Court comparable in Germany, the USA, however, elected political office) was. He had that post until 1866 and then settled as a lawyer, first in East Saginaw, and then from 1874 in Bay City down.

Even in 1859 Anneke was sought in Westphalia by the Prussian authorities warrant together with his brother Carl for desertion. The older brother Fritz, commander of the Palatine people's militia, was convicted in 1851 in Zweibrücken because of " terrorism" and " endangering national security" and " treason " to death in absentia.
