Ernst Friedrich Wilhelm von Schiller (born July 11, 1796 in Jena , † May 19, 1841 in Vilich , today a district of Bonn ) was a German judge in the Rhine Province . He was the second eldest son of Friedrich von Schiller and Charlotte von Schiller .

Life

Schiller studied law at the University of Jena and was active in the Corps Saxonia Jena (I) in 1815 . There, however, he was expelled around Easter 1815 due to his enthusiasm for fraternity ideas. He was then involved in drafting the constitution of the original fraternity, which he joined. In 1819 he became an assessor at the district court in Cologne . In 1823 he married Magdalena v. In St. Remigius (Bonn) . Pentecost used v. Mastiaux from a wealthy family. In 1828 he got a job at the Trier Regional Court and in 1835 was a member of the Appellate Court at the Rhenish Court of Appeal . Again and again he visited the family seat in Bonn. Like his father, he suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis . He died at a young age and was buried next to his mother in the old cemetery in Bonn . Since the grave was too narrow for two coffins, his coffin was placed on top of his mother's, whereupon he broke in.

The inscription on the tomb reads:

Do I have to walk it, the nocturnal
path? I dread to confess it!
I want to walk him gladly he leads to
truth and right

He inherited kindness of heart,
legal sense
and clarity of mind
from his
great father, his last wish was
a grave next to his mother's grave

The Schillerstraße in the Bonn district of Vilich is named after Ernst von Schiller .
