from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erich Mauritius (also: Muritz, Moritz ; * August 10, 1631 in Itzehoe ; † September 10, 1691 in Wetzlar ) was a German legal scholar.

Life

Born as the son of the eponymous mayor of Itzehoe, he attended high school in Hamburg when he was twelve . Here he was taught the basics of languages, philosophy and other sciences so that he could attend a university. On December 23, 1648 he moved to the University of Wittenberg , where he was supported by Augustin Strauch and Gottfried Suevus the Elder to study law. But soon he moved to the Brandenburg University of Frankfurt , where he found a teacher in Johann Brunnemann . After he had also attended the University of Leipzig and the University of Jena in 1650 , in 1651 he went to the Hessian Ludwig University of Gießen to Georg Tülsner (1600–1672).

In 1653 he moved to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg , where he still attended the lectures of Johann Wurmser and Wolfgang Adam Lauterbach . In 1554 Mauritius obtained a licentiate in law there. Through his father's contact, he was employed as a travel companion for Princes Hans Adolf and Karl Heinrich of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön, with whom he traveled to Vienna , Hungary , Bohemia , Saxony and Paris . Then he traveled alone to England where he mainly stayed in Oxford , was in Italy at the University of Padua and attended the Dutch universities in Leuven , Leiden , Utrecht and Groningen .

From 1559 he held private lectures in Heidelberg and in 1660 was appointed full professor of state and feudal law at the University of Tübingen . To this end, he acquired the academic degree of Doctor of Law there and, when he took over the professorship, had also taken on an observer position at the highest court. In 1665, Mauritius moved to the newly founded University of Kiel as a full professor in the law faculty . In 1671 (on January 8, 1682) he was presented by the Swabian Circle as assessor of the Reich Chamber of Commerce, went to Speyer the following year and to Frankfurt am Main in 1689 . The military conflicts with the French at the time forced him to bring his belongings to Wetzlar, where he died. Mauritius married a daughter of the Schleswig-Holstein Land Chancellor Johann Christoph Schönbach in 1667. However, she died after just two years and left no children.
