Life

Gerhard Heinrich Bernhard Schow was a son of Apenrad's mayor Bendix Show and brother of the doctor Wilhelm Karl Emil Schow (1821-1900). He studied law in Kiel and also at other universities until Easter 1832 and was " examinated at Gottorf " at Easter 1832 and was honored for his achievements. He then went on to become a civil servant, first becoming a "canzelist" with the Schleswig-Holstein government. In March 1840 he became mayor, police master and mayor of Aabenraa.

During the Schleswig-Holstein uprising in 1849, Schow was dismissed as mayor and driven out by the Danes.

In 1852 Schow was elected mayor of the city of Leer and was confirmed in this function on December 8th of that year by the Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom of Hanover , Wilhelm von Hammerstein . According to his personal file, Schow served as the Empty Mayor until 1857. In the same year his work appeared on the principles of the East Frisian law of the sea .

In 1857 at the latest, Schow had been awarded the Guelph Order of Fourth Class and had taken up residence in the house at Rote Reihe 7 in Hanover. The background to this was his appointment to the government council and his work as a consultant at the Royal Hanoverian Ministry of the Interior. In particular, he was supposed to implement Georg Heinrich Bacmeister's ideas about guild rights without being compulsory.

Bank note from the Hannoversche Bank dated March 1, 1857 for 10 Thaler Courant with the facsimile signatures of Schow, Johann Wilhelm Kraul, Kossmann Behrend and Alexander Abraham Cohen

In addition, Schow had worked as a "bank commissioner" for the Hannoversche Bank .

In 1864 Schow participated in the formulation of German copyright law . On behalf of the Kingdom of Hanover, he worked as a deputy in the commission of the Federal Assembly and participated in the formulation of the so-called "Frankfurt draft", which formed the basis of the Bavarian law passed in 1865. In doing so, Schow wanted to exclude photographs - distinguishing between drawings and copperplate engravings - from copyright, since in Schow's opinion the work of the photographer is a purely mechanical matter and has no height of creation .

Finally, Schow introduced the General German Commercial Code in the Kingdom of Hanover .

In 1866 - in the year of the battle of Langensalza and the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia - Schow worked in Hanover as a senior government councilor in the Department of the Interior before he took over the management of the administrative court there in Magdeburg .

Schow died in Magdeburg at the end of 1889 at the age of almost 80.
