Anton Bauer (legal scholar)
Anton Bauer (born August 16, 1772 in Marburg , † June 1, 1843 in Göttingen ) was a German legal scholar who dealt in particular with the theory of criminal law .
Life
He studied at the Philipps University in Marburg . Since 1793 private lecturer , in 1797 he became professor and assessor of the panel of judges. Transferred to the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in the same capacity in 1812 , he was often engaged in legislative work. He was rector of the university once in Marburg and three times in Göttingen .
With his principles of criminal trial, he published the first independent textbook on criminal procedure law in 1805, which he had again published in a revised edition over 30 years later.
He dealt with the philosophy of criminal law in his textbook on natural law , later in more detail in the basic lines of philosophical criminal law . Initially a supporter of Feuerbach's "deterrent theory", he later developed his own criminal law theory, the "warning theory". He presented this in 1827 in his textbook on criminal law and deepened it three years later in the book The Warning Theory .
