Edgar Tatarin-Tarnheyden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edgar Tatarin-Tarnheyden (born January 23, 1882 in Riga , † December 30, 1966 in Vaihingen an der Enz ) was a German legal scholar .

Until 1915 he worked as a lawyer in Riga. In 1922 he completed his habilitation in Marburg . Probably in the same year he became a professor at the University of Rostock . Since 1911 he was married to the Baltic German writer Jane von Klot .

Far from his neo-Kantian philosophical starting point, Tatarin-Tarnheyden was increasingly anti-republican and anti - positivist as early as the Weimar period . From 1933 onwards, alongside Carl Schmitt, he was one of the leading actors in the National Socialist discussion about the self-designation of the Nazi regime as a constitutional state . In 1937, after years of trying, he became a member of the NSDAP .

In 1945 Tatarin-Tarnheyden was taken prisoner by the Soviets and sentenced to ten years of forced labor, which he spent in the Untermaßfeld prison, among other places ; In 1954 he came to the Federal Republic. Thus Tatarin-Tarnheyden - apart from the brief imprisonment of Carl Schmitt and Otto Koellreutter - was probably the only German constitutional law teacher who supported National Socialism and who received a non-academic sanction for his National Socialist commitment.

His writings Werdendes Staatsrecht (Heymann, Berlin 1934) and The Influence of Judaism in Staatsrecht und Staatslehre (Deutscher Rechts-Verlag, Berlin 1938) were placed on the list of literature to be segregated in the Soviet occupation zone .

This suggests the assumption that Tatarin-Tarnheyden was the supervisor of the thesis and that the supervision relationship for the thesis completed in 1923 began in 1922 - in Rostock.
