Gustav Christian Friedrich Hansen (born April 10, 1849 in Lübeck , † April 4, 1924 in Essen ) was a German judge .

Life

Hansen grew up in Lübeck and attended the Katharineum . During his law studies in Bonn , Leipzig and Göttingen he, like many people from Lübeck, did his military service as a one-year volunteer in the Lauenburg Jäger Battalion No. 9 in Ratzeburg . With him he went to the Franco-German War in 1870/71 and fought in the Battle of Orléans , Beaugency and Le Mans . In 1912 the wine merchant Gerhard von Melle donated to him, like all former Katharineers active in the Franco-German War, a monument in the form of a window in the assembly hall of the Katharineum.

Hansen recovered in poetry . On the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Loigny , although he was not part of the Lübeck Battalion of the 2nd Hanseatic Infantry Regiment , he was invited to Lübeck. The senate had invited Alfred von Waldersee ( IX. AK in Altona ), Ernst von Petersdorff ( 17th ID in Schwerin ) and Maximilian von Fragstein and Niemsdorff ( 33rd IB in Altona) as guests of honor . As a festive gift from the committee, all guests received the song booklet written by Hansen “Hurray! De Jungs vun der Waterkant. ”From which all the songs sung that evening were taken. When Bussenius later summarized the mood with the representatives of the writing guild, he also pointed out that Hansen had also been a campaign participant from Lübeck.

After Hansen had passed his second legal examination before the Higher Appeal Court of the Four Free Cities in March 1874 , the Senate accepted both him and Paul Curtius as lawyers into the civil service .

At the Senate meeting on May 7, 1879, Hansen was elected, along with others, to the Lübeck Higher Regional Court. With the entry into force of the Reich Justice Laws on October 1, 1879, he became a district judge and the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg was the successor to the Higher Appeal Court. From 1884 Hansen was assistant judge there and was elected by the Senate on April 29, 1885 to the Lübeck Higher Regional Court Council .

Hanseatic Higher Regional Court (1920)

The three free Hanseatic cities agreed to increase the number of members of the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court with the formation of a 3rd Senate under Ernst Friedrich Sieveking . When it was founded on June 1, 1885, Hansen was designated as its Lübeck member. In Lübeck, the Senate elected the district judge Thöl , who was active in Stade at the time . Heinrich Sievers described Hansen as a master of the word , which may also be due to his love of poetry . Hansen's famous presidential portrait, located in Kalkreuth in 1924, is said to have corresponded to his nature, as can be seen from his obituary.

The trust of larger trading circles often called him in maritime and commercial matters as an arbitrator . For many years he was the sole arbitrator in disputes that arose from the pool of HAPAG and Norddeutscher Lloyd .

On September 16, 1903 he was appointed higher regional judge of the Hanseatic higher regional court. On October 1, 1917, after Otto Brandis, who also came from Lübeck, had died, he was appointed as the successor to the office of President. In times of upheaval he showed himself to be fully up to his task, but was unable to complete it due to his age-related physical ailments. On October 1, 1921, he retired and Max Mittelstein became his successor.

At their general assembly on October 7, 1877, Hansen, Otto Bussenius and Eduard Hach resigned from the board of the Lübeck Schiller Foundation . Except for Hach, however, they were re-elected. Rotational basis they parted at the General Assembly on 17 October 1880 from the Executive Board and the General Assembly on 29 October 1883 he retired again at regular intervals from the board.

On June 28, 1881, Hansen was elected to the citizenship for the second constituency ( Marien-Magdalenen Quartier and the northern part of the suburb of St. Lorenz) . Of the 834 eligible voters , 480 (58%) took part in the election and Hansen received 420 votes . From 1889 to 1901 Hansen was a member of the Hamburg Parliament ; he worked in the faction of the right in closer alliance with Albert Wolffson .

During a visit to his daughter in Essen, Hansen died of a stroke .
