Agathon Wunderlich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gottlob Friedrich Walter Agathon Wunderlich (born March 12, 1810 in Göttingen , † November 21, 1878 in Lübeck ) was a German legal scholar and higher appellate judge of the 19th century.

Life

Wunderlich was the son of the Göttingen professor and classical philologist Ernst Karl Friedrich Wunderlich (1783-1816), who died early . Although not a Prussian citizen, from 1824 to 1828 he was given a job at the renowned Pforta State School . He then studied at the University of Göttingen philology and law and a doctorate in 1832 for Dr. iur. utr. In 1833 he completed his habilitation and entered the Hanoverian civil service.

The repeal of the state constitution in the Kingdom of Hanover and the protests against it led to the removal of the Göttingen Seven . Wunderlich also took this development as an opportunity to go to Berlin , where he completed his habilitation again in Prussia . In 1838, through the mediation of Johann Jakob Bachofen, he was offered the chair of Roman law at the University of Basel . He used the time in Basel until 1842 for publications on medieval procedural lawyers .

In 1842 he followed a call to the University of Rostock , where he soon became a professor and member of the university's verdict committee and was thus able to work forensically. In 1847 he followed another call to Halle before he took up his last position in life in 1850 as a judge at the Higher Appeal Court of the four Free Cities in Lübeck , whose collections of decisions he also published.
