Botho from Salpius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Botho Ludwig Wilhelm von Salpius (born July 31, 1823 in Berlin ; † June 1, 1874 in Celle ) was a German lawyer and senior appellant in Celle. The family was raised to the nobility in 1835 and in 1855 received permission to add von Oldenburg in the name.

Life

origin

Botho was the son of the Prussian major general Wilhelm von Salpius (1785–1866) and his wife Karoline Marianna Ulrike Kasimira, born von Oldenburg (1805–1891).

Career

Salpius attended the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin and graduated there at Easter 1839. He wanted to devote himself to the natural sciences, but studied law at his father's request. He then enrolled at the University of Berlin , where he took the opportunity to become acquainted not only with jurisprudence, but also with cameralistics and the natural sciences. Friedrich Carl von Savigny was able to convince him to stick to jurisprudence. At Easter 1841 he moved to the University of Bonn , where Salpius studied with Bethmann-Hollweg , who had become a professor in Bonn on the recommendation of Savigny. Salpius returned to Berlin after a year, where he passed his final exam in April 1843.

He came to the city court in Berlin, was transferred as a trainee lawyer to the higher regional court in Marienwerder in 1845 , from where he also came to the city and regional courts of Danzig and Kulm . In the fall of 1848 he passed the major state examination and came to the Berlin Court of Appeal as an assessor. In 1849 Salpius received his first judge's position and became a district judge in Opole . In 1851 he was transferred to the government in Frankfurt (Oder) as a forestry assessor , but this did not suit him. He preferred to work as a judge and therefore came to the district court in Stralsund in July 1853 . There he met some scientifically interested colleagues and so he started to write a book.

With his book Novation and Delegation according to Roman Law , he initiated the development of the Roman doctrine of delegation. He was appointed Doctor Juris by the University of Greifswald . He received numerous offers for professorships and other judicial positions, but preferred to stay in Stralsund. When Hanover was annexed by Prussia in 1866 and the courts there were refilled, Salpius was offered a position at the highest court. So he came to Celle in 1867 as a senior appellate councilor. He wrote expert opinions and continued to study the law scientifically and had such a great influence until he suddenly died of a heart attack on June 1, 1874.

family

Salpius married Mathilde von Schachtmeyer (1833–1897), a daughter of Major General Johann Heinrich von Schachtmeyer , on May 10, 1858 . Several daughters resulted from the marriage:

  • Amalie Wilhelmine Mathilde (1859–1879)
  • Mathilde Emma Ulrike (* 1862)
  • Julie Matha Wilhelmine (1866-1910)
  • Elisabeth Adelheid Frederike Lina (* 1869)
