from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erwin Riezler (born June 28, 1873 in Donaueschingen ; † January 14, 1953 in Munich ) was a German legal scholar .

The son of the historian Sigmund von Riezler graduated from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1891 . He studied law at the universities of Munich and Berlin . During his studies he became a member of the AGV Munich . After the state examinations, he received his doctorate in Munich in 1897 ( the bill of exchange acceptance in the event of a lack of cover and currency ratio ). In 1900 the habilitation for civil and Roman law followed ( the work contract according to the civil code for the German Empire ).

From 1902 to 1913 he taught as an associate professor at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau . Then Riezler became a full professor at the University of Erlangen , where he was also rector in 1923/24. Riezler rejected appointments to Prague and Halle . In 1926 he returned to Munich and taught German civil and Roman law as well as civil procedure law . He was aloof from National Socialism . In 1938 he retired, but resumed teaching in 1946 and continued to do so until shortly before his death. From 1947 Riezler was a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and a member of the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature . From his first marriage, Riezler had a son, the physicist Wolfgang Riezler . After the early death of his first wife, he married Lila, daughter of the zoologist and geographer Friedrich Ratzel . A daughter comes from the second marriage.

The focus of his work lay in civil law, copyright law , international law , foreign law and legal philosophy . In addition to his commentary on the general part in Staudinger's Commentary on the Civil Code, his investigation into the inadmissibility of the Venire contra factum proprium became significant . With his work "International civil procedural law and procedural aliens law" from 1949 he was able to develop a special discipline that was still unknown in Germany.
