Christian Wildvogel (born August 13, 1644 in Halle (Saale) ; † December 4, 1728 in Jena ) was a German legal scholar.

Life

Christian was the son of the secret feudal secretary and princely Magdeburg councilor Georg Wildvogel (born January 19, 1607 in Weißenfels, † August 12, 1666 in Halle (Saale)) and his wife Maria Nicolai (born May 5, 1621 in Halle (Saale); † August 12, 1666 ibid.). His parents were able to pay him private tutors in his youth and he attended the high school in his hometown. In 1663 he began to study law at the University of Leipzig , where he attended the lectures of Quirinus Schacher , Bartholomäus Leonhard von Schwendendörffer and Jacob Thomasius . In 1665 he moved to the University of Frankfurt (Oder) , where Johann Brunnemann , Johann Rhetz and Samuel Stryk became his teachers. Since his father died in 1666 and he no longer had a financier for his studies, he had to work as a lawyer in Weißenfels .

In 1668 he returned to Frankfurt, where he obtained his doctorate in law under Brunnemann with the treatise de his, quae raro stunt in October 1668 . Then he moved back to Halle, where he worked as a lawyer and in 1676 was promoted to the Lower Saxon district secretary of the Magdeburg Archbishopric. In 1678 he moved to Weimar as court and government councilor , became assessor at the consistory there in 1681 and was active in various tasks. In 1685 he received a position as chancellor and overseer of the spiritual court from the abbess Anna Dorothea in Quedlinburg . In this task he had to face a lot of hostility, so that in 1687 he decided to retire to Ehringsdorf for private life.

Nevertheless, he had also carried out various assignments for the House of Saxony-Weimar in Mainz, the Palatinate and Kassel. In 1690 he became Professor of Law at the University of Jena , from 1697 he was Vice Chancellor of the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach and in 1699 he was given the title of Privy Councilor. Wildvogel also took part in the organizational tasks of the Jena Salana. He was dean of the law faculty several times and in the summer semesters 1692, 1700, 1711 and 1721 rector of the alma mater . He died as a senior at the university and at that time held the second professorship in law.

His first marriage was on October 26, 1669 with Sophia Catharina Krull (born December 31, 1651 in Halle / Saale; † January 10, 1681 in Weimar), the daughter of the princely Magdeburg privy councilor Dr. jur. Johann Krull (born February 20, 1610 in Halle; † November 21, 1668 ibid.) And his wife Juliane Struve. The marriage had six children.

After her death, he went into a third marriage with Christine Sophie Noricus († July 23, 1714 in Jena), the daughter of the Leipzig professor of law Johann Ernst Noricus, the widow of the Leipzig businessman Theodor Oertel.
