Eduard Fein

Georg Eduard Fein (born September 22, 1813 in Braunschweig , † October 28, 1858 in Helfta near Eisleben ) was a German legal scholar .

Life

Eduard Fein was the son of the general director of the Westphalian state domains and former mayor of Helmstedt Georg Fein senior . His brother was the pre-March politician Georg Fein . He attended the Martineum and from 1829 the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig. In 1831 he began studying law in Heidelberg, where Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut was one of his teachers. As a student he took part in the Hambach Festival in May 1832 . In 1833 he earned his doctorate in law in Heidelberg. He then worked as a lawyer in Braunschweig until 1838, before deciding on a university career. Fein went back to Heidelberg, but was at times also an employee of Friedrich Carl von Savigny in Berlin before he completed his habilitation in Heidelberg in 1843. In 1844 Fein received his first appointment to a professorship for Roman law at the University of Zurich. In 1845 he moved to the University of Jena and in 1852 to the University of Tübingen. He worked there until his early death from a lung disease at the age of only 45.

Fein belonged to the historical school of law , which was co-founded by Friedrich Carl von Savigny . His writings were valued by his contemporaries because of their relation to practical legal life.

During his time as a law professor in Jena, he campaigned for the release of his brother Georg Fein in 1845 , who was imprisoned in Lucerne because of his participation in the free marches of the Swiss liberals against the clerical canton of Lucerne. In the revolutionary year of 1848 , Fein was on the side of the rebels and was probably also politically active in Jena.
