Albrecht Erxleben

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Karl Albrecht Otto Erxleben (born January 1, 1814 in Schnepfenthal , † March 11, 1887 in Rostock ) was a German judge and university professor in Switzerland.

Life

Erxleben was born in Schnepfenthal in Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach on 1814 as the son of the bailiff Julius Carl Friedrich Erxleben, who worked in Achim near Bremen and later in Osnabrück . His brother Carl Erxleben was a member of the Hanoverian Estates Assembly and Landdrost von Ostfriesland . After attending school in Achim, Albrecht Erxleben studied law in Göttingen and Berlin. In Göttingen he became a member of the Corps Hannovera in 1832 and was there together with the later Reich founder and chancellor Otto v. Bismarck on July 6, 1832. At the University of Göttingen, he received his doctorate in law with his dissertation entitled De contractuum innominatorum indole ac natura commentatio .

In 1837, Erxleben completed his habilitation at the University of Göttingen and initially worked as a private lecturer in law at the same. As such, he published the civil law lectures of the legal scholar Johann Friedrich Ludwig Göschen from the papers he left behind . In 1841 he was appointed full professor of Roman law and canon law at the University of Zurich on the recommendation of the well-known legal scholar Friedrich Carl von Savignys . There he was in contact with Theodor Mommsen , who also taught at the University of Zurich and who also lectured on Roman law there from 1852 to 1854. During this time he published papers on legal dogmatics under civil law and two textbooks on Roman law. Erxleben is considered a representative of the historical school of law and Pandekistics . He was influenced by Savigny in terms of his doctrine of conditions , but differed in certain respects from Savigny. From 1844 to 1846 Erxleben was dean of the political science faculty at the University of Zurich. His successor was Heinrich Dernburg in 1854 .

From 1854 he was a judge at the Higher Appeal Court in Rostock, where he was later appointed President of the Senate. The court was the supreme court of the two (partial) grand duchies of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz and decided in the last instance in all civil and criminal matters.

Erxleben was born with Emma Auguste Reinbold married. He died in Rostock in 1887.
