Life

Jodocus Temme was the son of the lawyer and bailiff of the Clarholz Abbey, Carl Bernhard Joseph Temme and Marie Elisabeth Ferrier from Beelen. Temme's godfather was Jodocus van Oldeneel, the last provost of this monastery. He received his first school education from a private tutor. At the age of ten he attended the Paderborn grammar school in 1808 . In the following year he was awarded the school leaving certificate after successfully completing his exams.

In 1814 Temme began to study law at the University of Münster . Later he moved to Göttingen , was member of the Corps Guestphalia Goettingen there and ended there his studies in 1819. At the Court of Appeal Paderborn he put the Auskultator exam, the trainee - and the Assessor -Examen from. He then switched to the Princely Bentheim Regional and City Court in Limburg a. d. Lenne .

During this time Temme made his debut as a writer with the novel The Bloodhound . He published this together with Alfred von Tambouillot, the former husband of the writer Mathilde Franziska Anneke .

In the years 1822 to 1824 Temme was appointed companion and tutor of Prince Franz zu Bentheim-Tecklenburg . With his pupil he worked successively at the universities of Heidelberg , Bonn and Marburg . In Bonn he became Renonce of the Corps Guestphalia Bonn . In 1824 he returned to work in Limburg.

In 1827 he married Juliane Wilhelmine Plücker from Elberfeld near Wuppertal. In order to better provide for his family, he began to write for several Westphalian newspapers and magazines under the pseudonym Heinrich Stahl . In 1832 Temme successfully passed the third state examination and was transferred to the court in Arnsberg .

The promotion to the District Justice Council took place in 1833; however connected with the transfer to Ragnit in Prussian-Lithuania . He later used his work there in his crime novels. Three years later Temme was transferred to Stendal in the Altmark as a detective director . In 1838 he was appointed to the Greifswald court .

In 1844, King Friedrich Wilhelm IV noticed Temme because of his liberal sentiments . On royal orders Temme was promoted to director of the district and city court of Tilsit and thus banished far from the capital.

In 1848 Temme was appointed to Berlin as a public prosecutor. In the same year he got a mandate for the Prussian National Assembly . There he belonged to the left parliamentary group . Attempts were made to praise him as director of the Münster Higher Regional Court . But Temme still played a major role in the dissolution of the National Assembly in November 1848. He was elected by the constituency of Tilsit as a member of the second chamber of the House of Representatives of Prussia, which was elected for the first time on the basis of the constitution imposed by the king on December 5, 1849 Met from February to April 1849.

In the Frankfurt National Assembly of 1848 in the Paulskirche Temme was one of the moderate left of the Westendhall faction . In 1849 he took part in the rump parliament in Stuttgart . Because of his participation in the so-called “Stuttgart resolutions” drafted here, Temme was charged with “continued democratic outlook” and high treason before the Münster jury court. After nine months in prison, however, he had to be acquitted by the jury. At the turn of the year 1850/51 Temme was dismissed from civil service without a legal basis. He also lost all pension entitlements.

From 1851 he earned his living as the chief editor of the Neue Oderzeitung in Breslau . He gave up this post after a year because the police constantly monitored and harassed him and his family. In 1852 he followed a call to Zurich as professor of criminal law . He held this - unpaid - office until 1881.

Temme intensified his fiction production in the 1850s; until the 1870s he wrote a. a. numerous crime stories, most of which were published in Ernst Keil's family magazine Die Gartenlaube , and gave important impetus for the development of German-language crime literature . In the novel “Hermann Klostermann - a new Rinaldo”, first published in 1872, he took up the real contemporary case of the poacher Hermann Klostermann and combined the criminal act with socially critical comments.

In 1863/64 Temme temporarily returned to Berlin, where he had been elected as a member of the House of Representatives of the Prussian state parliament. In 1878 he and his family moved back to Tilsit for a short time. But when his wife died there after a short time, he went back to Zurich.
