  • “The Frankfurter Oberpostamtszeitung contains in a letter dated from Rhenish Prussia the following information about the recently reported death of Professor Pugge in Bonn: 'The Professor jur. Dr. Peter Eduard Pugge in Bonn was found hanging from a ladder on August 5th towards evening in his study, which he had carefully locked, and was found dead with a dagger in his chest. All attempts to restore it were unsuccessful. His body was buried on the morning of August 6th with a very small retinue to earth. The printed death note does not contain any falsehood, only an indication of his sudden death and a reference to divine grace and mercy. '"

memory

“I came into closer contact with his son-in-law, Professor Puggé. I harmonized in some ways with the witty but unhappy man. I also enjoyed talking to him about religious matters, although our views differed widely. He was a Catholic, but his Catholicism was illuminated by Schelling 's philosophy and freer than usual. (...) I read institutions, legal history, pundits and led the students' interpretation exercises. In all these things I followed the models of my early teachers Keller , Savigny, Hasse and Puggé. "
