Life
Christoph Friedrich Harpprecht was born on September 22nd, 1700 in Tübingen. After he had studied at the University of Tübingen , Württemberg sent him to England in 1721 together with Johann Osiander as secretary . After his return he was court counsel in Tübingen . In the course of a scientific journey in 1724 he took him to Wetzlar , Vienna and Strasbourg .
On April 3, 1727, he became the first professor for private law in Württemberg, and he also gave readings. Appointed ducal councilor and court judge in 1729, he became professor of law and history at the princes' college a year later . After he had received his doctorate , the University of Tübingen appointed him full professor of law in 1731. He also gave lectures on Württemberg law, the Pandects , legal literary history and martial law .
Harpprecht died on July 4, 1774.
Harpprecht was described by Johann August Ritter von Eisenhart as "highly skilled" and "equipped with unusual teaching skills and ravishing eloquence" . He described his lectures as very lively. On the other hand, he said he did not pursue internal faculty business and acted casually, which is why he was expelled from the faculty and the Senate several times. In 1744 he was sentenced to a fine of 1000 thalers. At a young age, he was concerned with revising the civil law of Württemberg. With his work, published in 1727, he expressed thoughts on the collection of state laws, on a textbook and on a commentary on Württemberg citizenship. However, he lacked diligence and perseverance to complete these ideas. He had announced several compendia , in place of which he wrote three dissertations . These deal with the Württemberg particular law and its history and are "at least valuable contributions" . Harpprecht did not write any other scientific works, but did write sacred songs .
