Friedrich Lent

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Lent (born January 6, 1882 in Nöschenrode , † April 30, 1960 in Munich ) was a German lawyer and politician of the German National People's Party .

Live and act

Lent's grandfather Wilhelm Johann Heinrich Lent (1792–1868) was President of the Court of Appeal in Hamm; his uncle Alfred Lent was a secret building officer and owner of the Disconto-Gesellschaft in Berlin. After attending the Prinz-Heinrichs-Gymnasium in Schöneberg , Friedrich Lent went to study law at the University of Strasbourg , the University of Munich , the University of Leipzig and the University of Berlin in 1900 . In 1903 he passed his traineeship exam and in 1908 his assessor exam, after which he worked for a short time as a court assessor.

Under the supervision of Konrad Hellwig , Lent received his doctorate in Berlin in 1905 with a thesis on The Instruction as Power of Attorney and in Bankruptcies , which was published in 1907. After completing his habilitation in 1909 with August Sigismund Schultze in Strasbourg on the concept of non-commissioned management , he initially became a private lecturer there . In April 1912 he accepted an appointment as an associate professor at the University of Jena and in 1918 as a full professor at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in Erlangen , where he held the chair for civil law, civil procedural law and voluntary jurisdiction until 1947 and then continued as emeritus taught. From 1927 Lent was co-editor of the magazine Nationalwirtschaft .

Lent belonged to the German People's Party from 1920 to 1923 , then to the National Liberal State Party of Bavaria (NLLP) and from 1931 to the German National People's Party. From 1924 to 1932 Lent was a member of the Bavarian state parliament . In July 1932 he was elected a member of the German Reichstag , to which he belonged until the end of the eighth electoral term in 1933. The 52 MPs of the DNVP approved the Enabling Act on March 24, 1933 . On the nomination for election to the German Reichstag on November 12, 1933 , Friedrich Lent ran under number 506 (of 661) on the NSDAP (Hitler Movement) unity list and was thus elected. But he was "deleted" after his election. He “stayed away” from the NSDAP. Lent had been a member of the Academy for German Law since September 1933 . According to his biographer Walther J. Habscheid , it was thanks to him that he and his companions prevented Roman law from being replaced by a Germanic people's code. The Bavarian state initially did not appreciate this when it, together with the US military government, suspended Lent from service for nine months in 1947 and immediately filled his chair. Lent had to undergo disciplinary proceedings in 1935/1937 and was sentenced to a fine because he is said to have spread horror tales and he was suspected of espionage.

After the end of his professorship, Lent lived from 1950 to 1954 in Herrsching am Ammersee and then in Munich .

Lent's academic writings dealt primarily with questions of civil law and civil procedural law . The textbooks he founded on property law , civil procedural law and enforcement and bankruptcy law (now: insolvency law) are continued by other authors to this day. The same applies to Ernst Jaeger 's major commentary on the bankruptcy code (now: the bankruptcy code), the eighth edition of which Lent has revised.

On his 75th birthday Lent was honored with a festschrift ( Leo Rosenberg , Karl Heinz Schwab (Hrsg.): Festschrift for Friedrich Lent on his 75th birthday , Munich 1957) and he received the Bavarian Order of Merit on December 15, 1959 .
