Friedrich Christian Avé-Lallemant

Friedrich Christian Benedikt Avé-Lallemant (born May 23, 1809 in Lübeck , † July 20, 1892 in Berlin-Marienfelde ) was a German criminalist and writer .

Life

Avé-Lallemant was the son of the music teacher Jacob Heinrich Avé-Lallemant and his wife Maria Friederike Canier. The doctor Robert Christian Avé-Lallemant , the music critic and writer Theodor Avé-Lallemant and the pastor Friedrich Avé-Lallemant were his brothers.

Avé-Lallemant attended the Katharineum in Lübeck and received musical lessons from his father at the same time. After graduating from Michaelis in 1830, he began to study law at the University of Jena . In Jena he became a member of the Arminia fraternity in 1830 and of the St. Pauli Jena choir in 1832 .

Avé-Lallemant finished his studies in 1834 and settled in Lübeck that same year as an independent lawyer . As such, he married Ida Wilhelmine Blüher zu Castorf on September 20, 1842. With her he had five daughters and two sons.

At the beginning of 1843 he was promoted to senior court procurator there . When the Lübeck police were completely reorganized in 1851, Avé-Lallemant was appointed actuary . In addition, he continued to run his law firm, but closed it in 1852. He was instrumental in setting up and expanding the police force in the city of Lübeck, and many other cities in northern Germany took over his innovations. After much preparatory work, his best-known work Das deutsche Gaunertum was created in 1858 . As an appendix, Avé-Lallemant added a summary of the crooks' language , which, however, met with considerable criticism in philology.

His wife died in 1864. After a due period of mourning, he married Johanna Elise Dittmer on November 8, 1866, also in Lübeck.

At the age of 59, Avé-Lallemant retired in 1868. He lived in Lübeck for almost 16 years and used his police experience to write a few short stories and detective novels. He was still very successful with his literary works during his lifetime.

At the age of 73 he settled in Berlin in 1882 . At the age of 83, Friedrich Christian Avé-Lallemant died on July 20, 1892 in Marienfelde near Berlin.
