Life

Gottlieb Planck came from a family of scholars from Württemberg. His brother was the lawyer Wilhelm von Planck , who in turn was the father of the physicist Max Planck . After graduating from the humanistic grammar school in Celle , Gottlieb Planck studied law at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . He became a member of the Landsmannschaften Hanseatia and Hildeso-Cellensia ( progress connection ). He graduated as the best of his class in the spring of 1846. He then entered the judicial service of the Kingdom of Hanover . Because of his political activities, especially his participation in a workers' association, he was transferred to Osnabrück in 1849 and later to Aurich . Between 1852 and 1855 Planck was a member of the second chamber of the Landtag in the Kingdom of Hanover . He belonged to the liberal opposition.

In 1855, Planck was one of the signatories of the constitutional committee's proposals. In addition, in his capacity as judge, he issued a ruling by the court in Aurich that the suspension of large parts of the constitution was null and void. Thereupon Planck was transferred as a judge to the small higher court in Dannenberg . There he came into contact with Johannes Miquel . Against the ordinances of 1855 he published a pamphlet in 1856, which gave rise to further disciplinary measures. In 1859 he was put up for disposition, at the same time Planck was refused a legal practice because he was still nominally in the civil service.

In 1859, Planck was one of the founders of the German National Association . He also took part in the discussions at the first German Juristentage . In 1863, Ludwig Windthorst gave him a position at the Meppen Higher Court . On April 23, 1865, he married Johann Magdalena Henriette Steinbömer in the north . With her he had a son. In 1868 he became a councilor at the Court of Appeal in Celle .

After the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia , Planck was able to become politically active again. Between 1867 and 1873 he belonged first to the North German and finally to the German Reichstag . He was also a member of the Prussian House of Representatives in 1867 and 1868 . From 1867 Planck belonged to the national liberal party .

Planck was of importance in 1868 when drafting a penal code and a code of criminal procedure . He also tried to mediate between the extreme positions on the question of the death penalty . In the early 1870s, Planck also had considerable influence on the development of a code of civil procedure . Although Planck was meanwhile blind because of the eye disease retinopathia pigmentosa , he was appointed to the first commission for the development of a civil code in 1874. In this he took over the function of an editor for family law. Overall, Planck was one of the most influential figures on the commission alongside Heinrich Eduard Pape , Bernhard Windscheid and Karl Kurlbaum (1830–1906). Subsequently, in 1889, Planck took on a full honorary professorship in Göttingen. In the second BGB commission, which met from 1890, Planck was appointed general advisor. After its end, he published the first and for a long time authoritative commentary on the Civil Code from 1896.

In 1901 he was elected honorary member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .
