Carl Heyland

Carl Ludwig Heyland (also Karl * 28. June 1889 in Muenster , † 11 February 1952 in Leihgestern in casting ) was one of the most renowned German state and Beamtenrechtler at the end of the Weimar Republic , during the Nazi dictatorship and in the early postwar period .

Life

After graduating from high school in Wetzlar , Heyland studied law at the universities of Munich , Gießen and Marburg from 1907 to 1910 . He received his doctorate on March 26, 1913 in Giessen . After a brief activity as a civil judge, he decided to go into science. He received his habilitation on May 16, 1923 at the University of Giessen for constitutional and administrative law . In addition to his work as a private lecturer , Heyland worked as a lawyer in Frankfurt am Main - probably for financial reasons . On April 20, 1929 he became an unofficial adjunct professor , on October 14, 1939, an extraordinary professor and on October 2, 1941, a full professor , both in Giessen. As a scientist, Heyland was recognized in international law , constitutional law and administrative law. His main area was the civil service law, which he presented as a whole in a monograph.

During the Nazi regime, Heyland was a member of the civil service law subcommittee of the Academy for German Law (1934). He was a member of the NSDAP from May 1933. From 1933 he acted as editor of the journal for civil service law , then from 1936/37 of the journal for civil servant and official employee law . From about the middle of the dictatorship on, he stopped publishing, an act of conscious abstinence. Heyland kept his distance. As a lawyer he represented B. the former SPD member of the Reichstag Christian Stock (after the war Hessian Prime Minister). On May 14, 1946, he was released from the American military government . In the denazification proceedings (1948), the Gießen Chamber of Justice exonerated Heyland for having “resisted according to the measure of his strength”.
