Professional background

Oberg studied law at the University of Göttingen from 1828 to 1831 . In June 1831 he received a prize from the Law Faculty of Göttingen University for his work De ordine quo constitutionum codex quem in corpore iuris habemus compositus sit . The work on the Codex Iustinianus was published in the same year.

After the National Assembly was dissolved at the end of May, Oberg was a member of the Gotha post-parliament in June 1849.

With the completion of his parliamentary work he resumed his work as a judicial councilor in Hildesheim. In 1852 Oberg was appointed Vice Director of the High Court, initially in Osterode am Harz and from 1855 in Stade . After the German War in 1866 and the incorporation of the Kingdom of Hanover into the Prussian State as the Province of Hanover , Oberg was also included in the Prussian judicial service. In 1867 he was transferred to the appellate court in Ratibor in Upper Silesia as vice-president and since 1870 as president .
