Friedrich Cropp (lawyer)

Friedrich Cropp (born July 5, 1790 in Moorburg , † August 8, 1832 in Lübeck ) was a German law teacher and judge of the 19th century.

Cropp was a son of pastor Paul Lorenz Cropp, who had been pastor at St. Maria Magdalena Church in Moorburg since 1786, and a grandson of doctor and naturalist Friedrich Ludwig Christian Cropp . He attended the learned school of the Johanneum and the academic high school in Hamburg. Easter 1810, he began studying law at the University of Goettingen and changed Michaelis in 1811 to the University of Heidelberg , where he received his doctorate and habilitation. In the winter semester of 1813/14 he took up his lectures as a private lecturer in Heidelberg and in the summer of 1814 was first associate professor, then in 1817 full professor in Heidelberg. In 1820 he was awarded the title of court counselor by the Baden government and in the same year, following the election proposal from Hamburg, he was appointed to the youngest court counselor of the newly founded Higher Appeal Court of the four Free Cities , where he was a victim of Lübeck cholera until his death - The 1832 epidemic took effect.

In 1819 he made a handwritten copy of the Wolfenbütteler Sachsenspiegel with traced and hand-colored illustrations from this and the Dresden Sachsenspiegel under the title "Codex picturatus speculi saxonici guelferbytanus". The work is viewed as a collection of material from a planned print edition that was not implemented.
