Erich-Hans Kaden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erich-Hans Kaden (born April 24, 1898 in Hochheim am Main , † January 13, 1973 in Geneva ) was a German legal scholar who taught at the University of Geneva for 46 years .

Life

Kaden, the son of a sparkling wine manufacturer, studied law at the University of Giessen as a student of Otto Eger . Like him, he became a member of the student association Academic Society Das Kloster during his studies in Gießen in 1918/19 . After receiving his doctorate in Giessen in 1922 and his habilitation in Heidelberg in 1924, where he briefly taught as a private lecturer, he was appointed as an associate professor for German civil law at the University of Geneva in 1925 . In 1931 he was appointed full professor of Roman law .

In 1930, Kaden compiled a comprehensive bibliography of comparative law literature in the field of civil law , which included all monographs and journal articles published in Central and Western Europe and the USA from 1870 to 1930 and contained around 4,000 titles.

In 1924, together with Max Springer, Kaden vehemently opposed Franco-German understanding in this post-war period. On French cultural policy, he wrote:

It wants to displace German culture and replace it with French culture ... (It is) a means of increasing political power development ... Continuing the war by other means.

Kaden has published in several languages ​​in the field of Roman law, legal history, and comparative law . In Geneva he read German civil law in German and Roman law in French. It is thanks to the teaching of German law, which he continuously advocates, that teaching for German students could be maintained even during the Second World War .

He remained committed to teaching after his retirement until the end of his life and did not give his last lecture until the winter semester 1971/72.
