Christian Gerhard Overbeck (born January 5, 1784 in Lübeck , † January 29, 1846 ibid) was a German lawyer and judge at the Higher Appeal Court of the four Free Cities .
Live and act
Overbeck was a son of the Lübeck lawyer, canon , senator, mayor and poet (" Come, dear May, and do ") Christian Adolph Overbeck (1755–1821) and his wife (since 1781) Elisabeth, widowed Kretzschmer, née. Lang (1753–1820), and grandson of the lawyer Georg Christian Overbeck (1713–1786) and his wife Eleonora Maria Jauch (1732–1797).
He was the oldest of five siblings , the most famous of whom was Friedrich Overbeck , the painter. He attended the Katharineum in Lübeck until 1802 and then studied law at the University of Jena , especially with Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut , whom he followed in 1805 to the University of Heidelberg . In Jena he had also studied philosophy, history and the natural sciences and belonged to a sociable group in the house of the bookseller Carl Friedrich Ernst Frommann . In Heidelberg he also studied with his later Lübeck colleague Georg Arnold Heise ; here he was promoted to Dr. iur. PhD.
On July 16, 1807 his practical work began with his acceptance among the advocates and notaries of Lübeck. His appointment as legal advisor at the St. Johannis monastery and the Moisling and Niendorf estates, which in the same year followed his appointment as the syndic of the Schonenfahrer college, significantly expanded the scope of his activities.
The incorporation of Lübeck into the French Empire also changed Overbeck's position. He now joined the Lübeck Tribunal as a youth suppléant and at the same time received permission to work as a lawyer at the Court of Appeal, the Imperial Court of Hamburg . His writing, which was helpful for the changes in the law at that time, comes from this epoch: On the continuation of the validity of older mortgages on chattels, namely the change of mortgage, according to more recent law. After the end of the French era in 1813, Overbeck became an actuary at the Lübeck district court . In 1822 he was elected to the Higher Appeal Court and introduced to the office on May 28, 1824. Efforts to make him the successor to Anton Diedrich Gütschow to the Syndicus of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck in 1833 were unsuccessful.
In 1807 he joined the “non-profit organization” and developed into one of its most important sponsors; At that time there was hardly a new charitable institute in Lübeck that Overbeck did not help to found: the savings and loan fund , the industrial school, two schools for small children, the Association for the Welfare of Released Prisoners (1841), which was founded by a passionate lecture von Overbeck initiated the process in 1840. 1830-1833 and again 1836-1839 he was director of the "non-profit". He was a member of the national liberal renewal movement called Jung-Lübeck . When a committee was set up to revise the city's constitution in 1842, the citizens of Lübeck appointed him chairman. In 1844, as a thank you for his work, he received a large silver amphora with a lid as a gift of honor from the city, which is now part of the Behnhaus collection . He did not live to see the end of the constitutional revision himself; he died in early 1846 of a heart condition.
He also played an important role in conveying the art of his brother Friedrich Overbeck in his hometown. He received the famous family portrait in 1830 as a gift from his brother, as well as the box of the rose miracle.
Since 1810 he was married to Auguste Rehbenitz († November 5, 1845), the daughter of a Holstein landowner and sister of Theodor Rehbenitz . The marriage had five children, of which only one son, the later Senator Christian Theodor Overbeck (1818-1880), survived the father.
