Life

Pernitza came from an extremely respected family. He was the sixth and last child of the Brno lawyer Karl Pernitza (1844-1919) and his wife Johanna, nee Edle von Ruber. His uncle Ignaz von Ruber was u. a. President of the Imperial and Royal Supreme Court and Minister of Justice from 1897 to 1899. His paternal uncles were Emil Pernitza , an assistant to Theodor Billroth and a surgeon in Vienna, and the historian Franz Krones, who taught in Graz .

After he had previously received private lessons, he attended the Stiftsgymnasium Melk from 1894 . In 1902 he moved to the State High School in Brno, where he passed the Matura in 1906 . He studied law at the University of Vienna and entered the civil service after receiving his doctorate in 1911. In 1915 he passed the judge's examination, then volunteered for military service in Galicia and became a lieutenant . After a serious gunshot wound, however, he was released from the army.

In 1917 Pernitza was appointed judge. After the war ended, he joined the Ministry of Social Welfare , where he became a section councilor. In 1931 he became the youngest member of the Administrative Court , which was merged with the Constitutional Court to form the Federal Court of Justice in 1934 . In 1941 he became a judge at the newly established Reich Administrative Court in Berlin, which, however, had no de facto influence. He joined a law firm in the 1950s and did not retire until 1966.

From 1922 until his death he was married to the well-known concert pianist Hilda Pernitza , née Müller von Elblein.
