Life
Junghanns was the son of the bailiff Franz Georg Jung Hanns, who was in the service of the German Order and later Baden County Council in Wertheim was. He studied from 1819 to 1823 in Heidelberg and Göttingen Jura. Here he came upon his membership in the Old Heidelberg fraternity and the fraternity Göttingen (1821 ) with liberal- democratic ideal in combination. In 1825, he was law clerk in Mosbach, 1831, he went there on the court lawyer.
In 1846 he was a member of the delegates of the constituency 36 ( Neckarbischofsheim and Mosbach ) the 12th session of the Landtag of Baden II chamber. In the following session, he was not represented, then took over in 1848, however, the mandate of his prematurely retired brother Karl Johann Baptist Junghanns for the constituency 32 ( Wiesloch and Neckargemuend ). In addition to legal questions in connection with the redemption of the nobility rights he also called for revolutionary current political topics, including an amnesty against the parties to the Hecker Uprising, against the prison sentence against Joseph Ignaz Peter and for the omission of the addition " of God Ganden " in the title the Grand Duke of Baden. In protest against the lack of ability to reform the chamber he gave in 1849 from his position. At the same time, he was one of 29 May 1848 to the end of the Rump Parliament in June 1849, the Frankfurt National Assembly as MP for the constituency Mosbach- Neckarbischofsheim - Sinsheim- Hoffenheim Neckargemuend. There, too, he reported on current topics to speak.
In May 1849 he took part in the Offenburg Assembly that year. As a substitute, he belonged to the Provisional National Committee. In June, he was sent to the Constituent Baden State Assembly, where he was part of the Commission of the distribution of the former monastery and Standesherr ownership. In a " proclamation to the German people," he went for a realistic assessment of the situation one in which the bringing of democracy is not yet possible, and spoke out as the sole representative for the approval of the return of the Grand Duke of Baden. As a temporary regent he suggested Lorenz Brentano. His suggestions were all not well received. After seven sessions of the Baden State Assembly, he turned to Stuttgart and took there continue to perform its mandate in the Rump Parliament.
After the revolution he fled despite his moderate stance for fear of prosecution to changing places, including first to Alsace, and later to Belgium and 1852 in Switzerland. In absence of which he was actually convicted under the 1850 treason to nine years in prison. In 1858 he made a statement of repentance and was pardoned on probation, so he returned in 1859 to Baden, and then settled in Buhl, from about 1865 in Rastatt as a lawyer. Politically, Junghanns no longer operated after his return from exile, but he's still involved in Rastatt variously culturally and within the professions.
