David Georg Strube
David Georg Strube (born November 29, 1694 in Celle ; † July 24, 1776 in Hanover ) was a German lawyer and publicist.
Life
Strube came from a Hanoverian civil servant family and was raised by private tutors. He studied law at the Universities of Halle and Leiden . In Halle, he turned to the teaching of the early Enlightenmentists Justus Henning Boehmers , Nicolaus Hieronymus Gundlings and Christian Thomasius . In 1718 he disputed with Gerhard Noodt , who was also one of the early Enlightenmentists, with the work de origine nobilitatis germanicae et praecipuis quibusdam ejus juribus . Then he went on the then customary Grand Tour that took him through Western Europe.
When he returned to Celle, he first became a lawyer at the Higher Appeal Court in Celle , and in 1720 he became a syndic of the Hildesheim monastery . This is where his extensive publishing activity began, initially with a special focus on agricultural law and the associated special agricultural law .
In 1740 he switched to the Hanoverian civil service under Minister Gerlach Adolph von Münchhausen , whose closest confidante and collaborator he remained for life; as "advocatus patriae" and secret councilor he aggressively represented the forensic interests of Kurhannovers, for example against the free imperial city of Lübeck on the inherited question of Möllner pertinence . He also worked intensively on the establishment of the Georg August University of Göttingen, which was inaugurated in 1737, and was particularly responsible for all questions relating to its law faculty. In 1751 he was elected a foreign member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .
In 1758 he was promoted to director of the law firm in Hanover and in 1772 received the title of Vice Chancellor of the Electorate.
