Life

Arnold Nieberding was the son of a grammar school director Karl Nieberding (1805-1892). He grew up in Recklinghausen , as his father had been entrusted with the management of the Petrinum grammar school there in 1843 . After graduating from the Petrinum in 1856, Arnold Nieberding studied law in Breslau, Heidelberg and Berlin and passed the exam "with distinction". He completed his legal clerkship with the government in Potsdam , then in 1861 he entered the Prussian civil service.

In 1863 he became the government assessor of the government in Wroclaw . In 1866 Nieberding published a fundamental work on water law and the water police in the Prussian state . His career took him to the Prussian Ministry of Commerce in the same year. Under the pseudonym Th. Ph. Berger , he published an annotated edition of the Reichs-Gewerbe-Ordinance of June 21, 1869, which appeared in 16 editions until 1902.

In the same year he moved to the newly created Reich Chancellery , where he was promoted to lecturing council three years later . From 1889 he was director of the second department in the Reich Office of the Interior . In 1893 he was given the title Real Privy Councilor , associated with the salutation “Excellency” . In the same year he took over the management of the German judiciary as State Secretary of the Reich Justice Office. For 16 years, until 1909, he headed the Reich Justice Office - longer than anyone else.

Arnold Nieberding was significantly involved in the completion of the second draft and in the adoption of the civil code . The Deutsche Juristen-Zeitung paid tribute to his contribution by adding his portrait to the title page of its special edition on the occasion of the entry into force of the BGB on January 1, 1900, alongside the portraits of Heinrich Eduard Pape , Gottlieb Planck and Oscar Küntzel .

After 1900, Nieberding devoted himself primarily to reforming the penal code and the code of criminal procedure, as well as amending the commercial code .

Arnold Nieberding died in Berlin in 1912 at the age of 74 and was buried in the local St. Hedwig's cemetery on Liesenstrasse . The tomb has not been preserved.
