Gerhart von Schulze-Gaevernitz (born July 25, 1864 in Breslau , † July 10, 1943 in Krainsdorf ) was a German economist and politician ( FVg , FVP , DDP ).

Life and work

Schulze-Gaevernitz, son of constitutional law teacher Hermann Schulze-Gavernitz and originally Protestant faith, studied after high school in Wroclaw at the Universities of Heidelberg , Göttingen , Leipzig , Berlin and Moscow law . After his legal traineeship in Strasbourg and Colmar as well as the great state examination in law , he worked at the Norddeutsche Bank in Hamburg . At that time he was appointed as External in Göttingen for doctor of law doctorate . After his legal habilitation in Leipzig, the student Lujo Brentano received his doctorate in philosophy in 1891 with the work Carlyle's position on Christianity and revolution . In 1893 he was appointed associate professor of economics at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau , where he became a full professor in 1896 and taught until his retirement in 1923. In 1924 he was a visiting professor in the USA . In 1935 he joined the Quakers . He was one of the co-founders of the Löwenberger Arbeitsgemeinschaft .

With his wife Johanna Hirsch (* May 23, 1876 in Mannheim ; † September 28, 1937 in Ascona ) he had three children:

  • Ruth Gaevernitz (born June 12, 1898 in Freiburg im Breisgau; † July 26, 1993 in London ) was a British historian.
  • Gero von Schulze-Gaevernitz (born September 27, 1901 in Freiburg im Breisgau; † April 6, 1970 in the Canary Islands) was a German economist.
  • Margiana von Schulze-Gaevernitz (born July 5, 1904 in Freiburg im Breisgau, † 1989 in Gstaad ) was married to Edmund Stinnes .

Party memberships

During the imperial era , Schulze-Gaevernitz ran for the Reichstag for the Liberal Association in 1898 . From 1903 at the latest he belonged to this party, which in 1910 was absorbed into the Progressive People's Party . After the First World War he joined the German Democratic Party . Documents on Schulze-Gaevernitz, u. a. a diary, lie in the archive of the liberalism of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for freedom in Gummersbach .

Member of Parliament

Schulze-Gaevernitz was a member of the Reichstag for the constituency of the Grand Duchy of Baden 5 ( Freiburg im Breisgau ) from 1912 to 1918 . In 1919/20 he was a member of the German National Assembly for the German Democratic Party (DDP) in Baden.

From a trip to Constantinople in March 1916, he reported to the government about the genocide of the Armenians . He was a member of the Weimar National Assembly in 1919/20, since he replaced the Baden Foreign Minister Hermann Dietrich on April 12, 1919 . There he applied on July 5, 1919, in vain, to call the head of state not "Reich President" but "Reichswart". He justified this with the fact that a president presides over a collegial body, which the head of state does not do at all, and there is also a risk that this appointment could lead to confusion with the office of President of the Reichstag . The head of state, on the other hand, has the task of defending and guaranteeing the constitution, i.e. he fulfills the tasks of waiting for the constitution.
