Friedrich von Hahn (lawyer)

Friedrich Georg von Hahn (born June 7, 1823 in Bad Homburg in front of the height , † March 3, 1897 in Berlin ) was Reich High Court Judge and Senate President at the Reich Court .

Life

After taking private lessons, Hahn attended the Princely School in Meissen from 1837 . After graduating from high school in 1842, Hahn studied law in Jena . There he heard Francke (“legal encyclopedia” and institutions), Fries (psychology and logic) and Luden (history of poetry and general history). He became a member of the Corps Saxonia Jena in Jena . Since he wasn't a determined student at first, took fencing lessons and traveled, he had money problems. From the winter semester of 1843/1844 he studied in Heidelberg. It was here that Hahn first came into contact with his mentor, Professor Karl Julius Guyet from Homburg . On 10 August 1846 he was without dissertation in Heidelberg doctorate for Doctor of Law . He then entered the Landgrave Hessian civil service for 7 weeks in 1847 as a government attorney at the justice office with the title of court squire. Nevertheless, he aspired to an academic career. He completed his habilitation at the law faculty in Jena on November 10, 1847. In the winter semester of 1847/1848 he began lecturing. For his four listeners he needed three hours of preparation for each lecture hour and was therefore “dead for everything else”. In the spring of 1848 he read the French newspapers with interest. He was not a revolutionary, although he dreamed as a teenager thereof, with a volunteer corps to fight a war with France by students on the Rhine. Hahn was a romantic supporter of the Old Kingdom and rejected divine right . In the summer semester of 1848 he gave 15 hours of German constitutional law and German legal history as a private lecturer and represented Michelsen in the lecture on German private law. Since the listening fees were insufficient, he still had to be supported by his mother. He warned his mother not to buy stocks, as it was "one of the most immoral institutions, decidedly branded by healthy public opinion". In the winter semester of 1848/1849 he read about the Sachsenspiegel in front of 21 listeners. In addition to teaching, Hahn became an assessor at the Jena Schöppenstuhl in 1850 . The faculty staff were asked in writing by the courts for a decision in the context of the dispatch of files until 1879. In 1856 he was awarded the title of Landgrave Hessian Court Councilor. From 1857 he was the representative of the ducal Saxon and Anhalt governments in the deliberations for the ADHGB . In 1861 he became an extraordinary honorary professor and in 1862 a full professor of German private law and commercial law as well as a member of the Higher Appeal Court in Jena. He followed his father-in-law to the chair. In the winter semester of 1869/70 he was rector of the University of Jena . In 1872 he came to the Reich Higher Commercial Court. In 1879 he joined the First Civil Senate of the Imperial Court . In 1891 he was appointed Senate President of the VI. Civil Senate . He retired on New Year's Day 1893.
