Emil Herrmann (born April 9, 1812 in Dresden , † April 16, 1885 in Gotha ) was a German canon lawyer and politician.

Life and work

Emil Herrmann, son of a Saxon court martial , began studying law in Leipzig in the winter semester of 1829/30 . He joined the Leipzig fraternity. In 1832 he passed the state examination and in 1834 obtained his doctorate in law in Leipzig. Shortly afterwards, he completed his habilitation there as a private lecturer. In 1836 he became an associate professor of law at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel , and in 1842 a full professor there. He was one of the nine professors who publicly protested against Danish efforts to curtail the rights of the Duchy of Schleswig . In 1847 he accepted a position at the Georg August University in Göttingen . In spring 1848 he was a sponsor of the newly founded fraternity of Hannovera , which made him an honorary member.

In 1849 he was Vice President of the First Chamber of Estates of the Kingdom of Hanover . In 1868 he moved to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . For a time he was a member of the First Chamber of the Grand Duchy of Baden .

As a result of his diverse canonical treatises and as President of the German Evangelical Church Congress from 1864 to 1872, he enjoyed a high reputation in Protestant circles. It is therefore not surprising that Emil Herrmann was appointed President of the Evangelical Upper Church Council of the Old Prussian Union in Berlin in 1872. There he earned services with the reform of the church constitution for the eastern provinces of the Kingdom of Prussia. These received a church congregation and synodal order for their activity, i. H. In principle, the parishioners got more say and participation rights, like z. B. was already the case in the Rhineland and Westphalia. Conservative groups within the old Prussian Evangelical Church did not agree with this. Kaiser Wilhelm I also disliked the reform because, as the Prussian king, he considered his sovereign church regiment (summus episcopus) to be endangered. Emil Herrmann was therefore forced to ask for his release in November 1877, which was granted to him in March 1878. He first moved back to Heidelberg and later to Gotha, where he spent the evening of his life.

Emil Hermann joined the lawless society in Berlin in 1874 , a gentlemen's club founded in 1809 and still in existence today, which is committed to maintaining tradition, culture and science.
