Life

The son of the factory owner Johann Ernst Christian Laspeyres and his wife Susanne Friederike (née Runneke) came from the old Huguenot family . He had received a private education in his youth and had attended the Friedrichwerdersche Gymnasium since Easter 1818 , which was then under the direction of August Ferdinand Bernhardi (1769-1820). The strictly historical-humanistic education of this school was to accompany his entire life and prepared him for university studies. On October 9, 1821, he moved to the University of Berlin , where he was enthusiastic about the lectures of Friedrich Carl von Savigny .

He carried out further studies from October 22, 1821 to October 3, 1822 at the University of Göttingen and then completed his military service in Berlin. After completing the same, he devoted himself to private studies, which on December 23, 1824, with the dissertation uinauguralis canonicae computationis et nuptiarum propter sanguinis propinquiatem ab ecclesia christiana prohibittarum sistens historiam, earned him the academic degree of doctor of rights. On January 15, 1825 , he completed his habilitation at the law faculty of the Berlin University, where he lectured mainly on German canon law and private law. At the same time he made statements on forest law at the university's forestry department, which was moved to Eberswalde in 1830 .

When he was promoted to associate professor of law on January 23, 1830, he succeeded Friedrich Bluhme (1797–1874) as a full professor of private and canon law at the University of Halle with the cabinet order of March 22, 1831 . In his lectures he dealt with German legal history, German private law, canon law and Prussian land law. He also took part in organizational tasks at the University of Halle and was Vice-Rector of the Alma Mater in 1837/39 . After he was released from this task by a cabinet decision of April 8, 1844, he took up a professorship at the University of Erlangen , where he taught his students about German private, feudal, commercial and exchange law, as well as German state and legal history . Here, too, he became the prorector of the higher education institution in 1845/46.

Soon, however, the Free City of Frankfurt offered him a lucrative position in Lübeck at the Higher Appeal Court of the four Free Cities in Germany. He asked for his release from the Bavarian service, which was granted to him on April 8, 1846. Introduced in Lübeck on August 12, 1846, he became a councilor, developed a more extensive literary activity and was also involved in communal affairs.

After suffering a stroke in the spring of 1862, he retired to Halle, where he died. In 1831 he married Auguste, the daughter of Christian Friedrich Goedeking (1770-1851) in Berlin . From this marriage, the sons, the economist Ernst Louis Etienne Laspeyres (1834-1913), the geologist Ernst Adolf Hugo Laspeyres (1836-1913) and the architect Paul Laspeyres (1840-1881) were known for their work.
