Friedrich Benedict Carpzov II.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Benedict Carpzov II (born October 21, 1702 in Zittau , † October 5, 1744 in Wittenberg ) was a German lawyer and legal scholar .

Life

As the son of Johann Benedict Carpzov III. Born in 1722, he first studied at the University of Wittenberg and later moved to the University of Leipzig , preferring to study law. In 1726 he became a notary in Zittau, in 1727 an official advocate in Lausitz and in 1731 an official advocate for the Electorate of Saxony . In 1735 he went back to Wittenberg as a private lecturer and on August 12, 1735 acquired the academic degree of Doctor of Law.

Although he turned down an appointment as an associate professor at the University of Göttingen with a good salary of 200 thalers, he could not really gain a foothold at the Leucorea . His vicious satire against his colleagues is considered to be to blame for this, so that in 1742 he had to take up an unpaid professorship for natural and international law, which, however, in no way improved his financial circumstances and with which he lived until his consumption- induced death in 1744 had to. Carpzov was described by his contemporaries as a sociable and fun-loving person, but the last years of his life embittered him, so that he became stubborn and grumpy.
