Life and work

After graduating from high school in Munich in 1873 , Düringer, who was of Protestant faith, studied law in Strasbourg , Bonn and Heidelberg until 1879 , although he had to interrupt his studies twice because of typhoid fever .

There he also moved to the regional court in 1890 . In 1897 he became a higher regional judge at the Baden Higher Regional Court (OLG) in Karlsruhe . After working as a ministerial advisor in Karlsruhe for two years from 1900, he was appointed to the Imperial Court in Leipzig in 1902 . In 1915 he returned to the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court as President .

1917/18 Düringer was President of the Law and Economy Association .

Together with Max Hachenburg , Düringer founded a commentary on the commercial code , which was initially continued by Hachenburg after his death. In 1935 the publication had to be stopped due to National Socialist pressure.

Political party

During the Empire, Düringer was a member of the National Liberal Party . In contrast to the majority of his party friends, he did not participate in the founding of the DVP in 1918 , but instead joined the DNVP . In 1922, however, he left the German Nationals again and joined the DVP.

MP

He was then a member of the Reichstag until his death . Düringer was a convinced Badener: When a merger of Baden and Württemberg was discussed for the first time after the First World War , he turned against an unification in the state parliament with the words that the Württembergians were a “scheming people of Swabian stubborn heads”.
