Franz Joseph Konstantin Schömann

Franz Joseph Konstantin Schömann (born May 23, 1782 in Wetzlar , † December 2, 1813 in Jena ) was a German legal scholar .

Life

Schömann came from a Catholic family. His father Ignatz Franz Xaver Schömann had acquired imperial citizenship in Wetzlar. Nothing is known about Franz Joseph Konstantin's childhood and first career. After studying at the University of Göttingen , he received his doctorate in law there. He then worked as a lawyer at the Imperial Court of Justice in his native city and in 1808 became the fifth full professor at the institutes at the University of Jena and an assessor at the Saxon-Weimar court and Schöppenstuhl. In Jena he appeared as the author of the Jenaische Allgemeine Literaturzeitung, became Hofrat von Sachsen Weimar in 1810 and was rector of the Alma Mater in the summer semester of 1811 .

When Napoleon Bonaparte decided to destroy the city of Jena due to the resistance of the Jena student body, the representatives of the Jena University sent a delegation to Weimar. This included Schömann, Johann Christian Stark the Younger and Heinrich Karl Eichstädt . This delegation was able to convince Bonaparte to abandon his plan. Schömann, in particular, who spoke French fluently, played a major role in the success of the task with his rhetorical skills. However, Schömann was no longer granted any greater effectiveness in Jena, because he died of typhoid at the age of thirty-four. His son was the physician Ignatz Franz Xaver Schömann (born May 9, 1807 in Wetzlar, † September 16, 1864 in Cologne).
