Georg Arnold Heise
Georg Arnold Heise (born August 2, 1778 in Hamburg , † February 6, 1851 in Lübeck ) was an important German legal scholar, president of the Higher Appeal Court of the four Free Cities and a representative of the Historical School of Law .
Life
After attending school in Hamburg and studying in Jena and Göttingen , he passed his doctoral examination in 1802. Through the mediation of his friend Friedrich Carl von Savigny , he was appointed to Heidelberg as associate professor for canon law . In 1814 he returned to Göttingen as a professor of Roman law . Only four years later, in 1818, he gave up his teaching post and switched to the Hanoverian civil service.
In 1820 Heise was appointed the first president of the newly created Higher Appeal Court of the four Free Cities in Lübeck . In the three decades of its presidency, the court developed supra-regional importance, not only for the Free Cities but also as an arbitration court in disputes between the states of the German Confederation .
Heises grave is located in the cemetery of the St. Jürgen Chapel in the Lübeck district of St Jürgen .
meaning
The lawyer Bernhard Windscheid later wrote that there were actually only two highest honors for an ambitious lawyer of that time: to become Savigny's successor or to replace Heise. Many decisions of the court under Heise's presidency have strongly promoted commercial law and had a law-forming effect. Heise's influence as an academic teacher extended far beyond his own teaching activities through his writings. This was especially true for his Pandekten lectures, which he held over and over again .
