Christoph Johann Conrad Engelbrecht

Christoph Johann Conrad Engelbrecht (born September 24, 1690 in Helmstedt ; † October 20, 1724 ibid) was a German lawyer and professor at the University of Helmstedt .

Live and act

Engelbrecht studied law at the University of Helmstedt. In 1715 he became - like his father Georg Engelbrecht the Elder and his brother Georg Engelbrecht the Younger - first associate professor and in 1717 full professor of law. He taught both civil law and constitutional law . He died of consumption at the age of 34.

In his writings, Engelbrecht dealt, among other things, with Brunswick-Lüneburg law, which from his point of view has been neglected in research. For example, in his De genuinis decisionum iuris fontibus in terris Brunsvico-Luneburgicis, he discussed in detail the provincial rights of Calenberg , Lüneburg and Wolfenbüttel . Engelbrecht's works are forerunners of later treatises on Brunswick-Lüneburg territorial law, e.g. B. from the Göttingen law professor Gottfried Mascow .
