Friedrich List (lawyer)

Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Oskar List (born August 1, 1887 in Strasbourg ; † August 7, 1965 in Darmstadt ) was a German lawyer and librarian . He held what is probably the first German chair for technology law.

Life

List studied law in Strasbourg from 1906 to 1910 under Paul Laband and Otto Mayer , where he received his doctorate in 1911 . In 1918 he came to Giessen as a librarian at the university there . In 1924 he moved to the library of the Technical University of Darmstadt as library director . Formally, he held this position until 1941.

In Darmstadt , List completed his habilitation in library law in 1926 and became a private lecturer in library science and law at the TH and later also director of the local postal institute. After a first rededication of his venia legendi to administrative law in 1928, he was appointed extraordinary professor for administrative law and engineering law in 1931. He now managed the library part-time. After a further rehabilitation in 1933 on "Public Law and Technology Law", he received a scheduled professorship created for him on April 1, 1934, and in May 1943 became a full professor.

List was a member of the DDP during the Weimar Republic . On May 1, 1933, he joined the NSDAP (No. 2.230.556). He was press attendant of his local NSDAP group , shop steward in the SD , member of various other National Socialist associations and in 1940 councilor of the city of Darmstadt. From 1942 to 1944 he was dean of the faculty for cultural and political sciences. From 1941 to 1943 he served the Nazi regime as Lecturer League Leader, and in 1943/44 he was also head of the teaching staff.

List was interned by the American military government after World War II . Since he had only submitted the denazification questionnaire in December 1945, he was dismissed from the state service in February 1946 for "political reasons" and was not hired again later. In his denazification process , he was first classified in Group III in 1948, and finally in Group IV in 1949.

After the Second World War, Friedrich List worked as a lawyer for the Deutsche Bundespost in Darmstadt. He was a member of the Darmstadt Masonic Lodge Zum Flammenden Schwert which belongs to the Great State Lodge of the Freemasons of Germany .
