Ernst Eduard Hirsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Eduard Hirsch (born January 20, 1902 in Friedberg (Hesse) ; † March 29, 1985 in Königsfeld in the Black Forest ) was a German lawyer and legal sociologist.

Live and act

Ernst Eduard Hirsch (also: Ernst E. Hirsch) studied economics and law at the universities of Frankfurt am Main , Munich and Giessen . His doctorate in Gießen in 1924 was followed by his habilitation in Frankfurt am Main in 1930 .

In January 1931, Hirsch was appointed district and district court advisor and thus a judge for life in Frankfurt am Main and at the same time worked as a private lecturer .

In March 1933 he was dismissed from office because of his Jewish origins. In October 1933 he followed a call from Istanbul University to the chair of commercial law. There he read Ernest Mamboury's first in-depth travel guide to Istanbul, which had recently been published . After acquiring Turkish citizenship in 1943, he moved to Ankara University , where he taught not only commercial law, but also legal philosophy and legal sociology . In addition to his teaching activities, he devoted himself to building the law faculty library in Istanbul , which he reported in his autobiography. There was already a library there, but it consisted of specialist literature on Ottoman law in Arabic script, but not on the law of the Republic of Turkey, founded in 1923, and international law.

In the nearly two decades of academic activity in Turkey, Hirsch published numerous monographs and standard textbooks. His conceptual work and his legislative work should be emphasized; He provided draft laws and concepts for the Turkish commercial code, stock corporation law, university law and copyright and inventor law legislation.

Hirsch, who had lost many relatives in Auschwitz , originally wanted to stay in Turkey. Berlin's governing mayor Ernst Reuter - himself an emigrant in Turkey (1935–1945) and Hirsch's colleague in Ankara - was able to convince him in 1952 to accept a professorship for commercial law and legal sociology at the Free University of Berlin . Between 1953 and 1955 Ernst Hirsch was elected rector and prorector of the Free University of Berlin.

After his return to Germany, his German citizenship, which had been withdrawn from him by the Eleventh Ordinance on the Reich Citizenship Act at the latest, was restored, but he also kept his Turkish passport until his death.

The first Kati Hirschel novel by Esmahan Aykol was published in 2001 . The author has ascribed her fictional Istanbul crime book dealer biographical roots, which make very clear reference to the real biography of Ernst Eduard Hirsch . Hirsch's biography, conveyed by his son Enver Tandogan, is also part of the documentary HAYMATLOZ, which was completed in 2015 . Exile in Turkey by Eren Önsöz .
