Anton Adolf Christoph spokesman von Bernegg (born October 2, 1849 in Chur , † May 9, 1915 in Baden / Aargau ) was a German judge .

Life

He came from the old aristocratic knight family Sprecher von Bernegg from Graubünden . He was a son of Colonel Johann Andreas Sprecher von Bernegg (1811–1862) and Barbara, daughter of Mayor Christoph von Albertini and his wife Ursula Elisabeth Gugelberg von Moos. His younger brother Arthur Heinrich (1852–1912) rose to the position of general of the infantry in the Austrian army .

After becoming an orphan at an early age, he grew up with his cousin Theophil Sprecher von Bernegg in Maienfeld . In 1859 he came to Lausanne . In 1865 he came to the Pädagogium Basel , where he passed the Matura in 1868 with summa cum laude . He first studied theology. He then began to study law in Basel , then studied in the summer semester of 1869 in Göttingen and finally in Leipzig , where he received his doctorate in 1872/73. It was only after he became a Prussian subject that he was able to take the first exam in the Kassel appellate court district in March 1873 (“quite good”). His motive for seeking admission to the state examination in Prussia: “ During my studies I had already come to the conclusion that returning to Switzerland would not be advisable. The reasons lie in the very poor development of the judicial service there. The study of law mainly leads only to the acquisition of law, which in turn is for the most part treated only as a starting point for a political career. This is especially true of my immediate home, the canton of Graubünden. Here is even the Supreme Court, Cantonal u. The upper court is not necessarily filled with lawyers. Also, the jurisprudence there on the other side is in a mess that the advocacy is released in such a way that it does not require any examination at all. “He passed the second exam with the grade“ good ”. From the beginning of 1879 he worked at the district court in Kassel and in October switched to the Kassel public prosecutor's office, where he remained until May of the following year. Then he became a local judge in Lichtenau . In 1885 he was transferred to Hechingen as a district judge . In 1889 he became an assistant judge at the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt am Main . In 1893 he was promoted to the regional judge and in October 1893 to the higher regional judge. In 1894/95 he was seconded to the Prussian Ministry of Justice. In 1900 he came to the Imperial Court . He worked as a judge in the 1st Civil Senate . He retired in 1911.
