Silhouette by Andreas Joseph Schnaubert

Andreas Joseph Schnaubert (born November 30, 1750 in Bingen am Rhein , † July 10, 1825 in Jena ) was a German legal scholar.

Life

Andreas Joseph came from a Catholic family. He was born the son of the wine merchant Johannes Schnaubert and his wife Anne Marie Baltenweg. In addition to attending public schools, he received private tutors in his childhood. After attending grammar school in Bingen, his father wished that Andreas Joseph should take up the profession of a Catholic clergyman. In 1765 he moved to the University of Mainz , where he studied philosophy and history and in September 1767 acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy. He then attended the electoral theological seminar in Mainz for five years, where he obtained the degree of Baccalaurus in theology and, after completing his training, became a clergyman in a place near Bingen.

Since he had made his cook Maria Anna Folz pregnant, he moved with her to Gießen, where he converted to the Evangelical Reformed faith in 1777 and married her. The sons Johann Karl Christian Schnaubert (born December 7, 1779 Gießen; † 1859, April 30, 1801 Dr. med. Uni. Jena) are known of the children of this marriage; Johann Ludwig Theodor Schnaubert (born September 20, 1784 in Gießen, † 1857, 1804 professor of chemistry in Charkov, living in Moscow in 1811 and Germany again in 1815, citizenship in Weimar in 1835), Julius Friedrich Theodor Schnaubert (born July 6, 1786 in Helmstedt; † January 5, 1854 in Jena, Uni. Jena and Heidelberg, December 8, 1810 Dr. jur., 1812 ao Prof. jur., 1830–1842 Syndicus and archivist of the University of Jena), Gottfried Friedrich Christian Schnaubert (* Jena) and August Schnaubert (* 1789 in Jena; 1812 Ph.D. jur. Jena, court secretary in Weimar).

However, he could not find a job in his chosen professional activity, so he decided that he could build a new livelihood by studying law. In 1776 he moved to the University of Gießen , where he worked with Christian Hartmann Samuel von Gatzert (born June 4, 1739 in Meiningen; † April 2, 1807 in Gießen), Ludwig Julius Friedrich Höpfner and Helwig Bernhard Jaup (born August 9, 1750 in Darmstadt ; † October 27, 1806 in Giessen) completed his studies. On May 1, 1780 he defended the work De qualitate comitiali Placit. regii in imperio Rom.-German and was awarded a doctorate in law the following day. He then worked as a private lecturer and on July 17, 1783 became an associate professor of law in Giessen.

In 1784 he received a full professorship in constitutional and canon law at the University of Helmstedt and became an assessor at the law faculty there. In 1786 he moved to the University of Jena where he was given a full professorship in constitutional and feudal law and, associated with this, the title of court counselor of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. In 1794 he became the fifth professor of the institutes, in the same year he switched to the fourth teaching position of the Pandeken Patris secunda, in 1800 he became the third professor of the Pandeken Patris primae, in 1802 second professor of the Codex and Novellas and in 1809 professor of Catholic and Protestant canon law, senior appeal council and secret judiciary of Sachsen-Weimar. He also participated in the organizational tasks of the university. He was dean of the law faculty several times and in the summer semesters 1794, 1805 and 1809 rector of the alma mater .
