Friedrich Heinrich von Strombeck

Friedrich Heinrich von Strombeck (born October 2, 1773 in Braunschweig ; † March 30, 1832 ) was a German lawyer and author. He was a Prussian secret higher regional judge and was considered an expert on the Code Napoléon introduced during the Napoleonic occupation .

Life

Von Strombeck came from a noble Brunswick family. His parents were Christoph Georg von Strombeck (1729-1801), who had estates in Großtwülpstedt and Großsisbeck , and his wife Christiane Henriette Luise (née Häseler, 1746-1807), sister of the mathematician Johann Friedrich Ludwig Häseler . His older brother Friedrich Karl von Strombeck was also a well-known lawyer. Strombeck attended the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig and the University of Helmstedt , managed the family estate and in 1798 entered the Prussian service as a lawyer. In 1801 he became a judicial advisor in Poznan, but lost his post in 1806 after the French invaded, who also looted his house and property. On his return he was initially a judge of the Kingdom of Westphalia in Helmstedt and began to specialize in the newly introduced French civil law ( Code civil ), about which he published a three-volume manual from 1810. He became a tribunal judge in Celle and, after the withdrawal of the French, in 1814 an appellate judge in Halberstadt . From 1820 he was a member of the Civil Law Commission in Berlin, whereupon he was appointed to the Privy Council of Justice. A hoped-for promotion did not materialize, however, he fell into depression, and in 1831 he retired. Soon after, he fell ill and died.
