from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Arthur Franz von Hippel (born September 28, 1895 in Strasbourg ; † September 26, 1984 in Perscheid ) was a German legal scholar and legal philosopher .

Life

Ernst von Hippel, son of the jurist Robert von Hippel and older brother of Fritz von Hippel and Arthur Robert von Hippel , devoted himself to the high school and participating in the First World War, studying law at the Universities of Cologne and Göttingen , which he 1920 in Göttingen graduated with a doctorate from Paul Schoen .

As a result, Ernst von Hippel began his academic career as an assistant at the University of Berlin , before moving to Gerhard Anschütz at the University of Heidelberg in the same position , where he qualified as a professor in 1924 in public law and legal philosophy and was appointed associate professor. In 1929 he followed a call to the chair for public law, international law and legal and state philosophy at the University of Rostock . In the same year he was appointed full professor for constitutional law, administrative law, canon law, general legal theory and state philosophy in Königsberg .

Hippel was an anthroposophist who welcomed the "emphasis on the will, the folk spirit, myth, race" and "the removal of Jews from the university" as an important step in overcoming materialism in the Nazi state . Influenced by the legal scholar, mystic and former anthroposophist Valentin Tomberg , he converted to the Roman Catholic Church after 1945 .

In 1940 he changed to the chair for public law, international law and legal and state philosophy at the University of Cologne, which he held until his retirement . He was co-editor of the collection of laws of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Hippel died two days before the age of 89 in Perscheid.
