Life

Hans Lentze was born on March 14, 1909 in Lauban in the Prussian province of Silesia . He was the son of a Protestant family and studied law at the Universities of Göttingen , Bonn and Breslau . He received his doctorate in 1933 with a dissertation on guild law with Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy . He then worked on the Monumenta Germaniae Historica project , Leges department, in Berlin, Bonn and Vienna. He worked at the Schwabenspiegel with Hans von Voltelini and at the Sachsenspiegel with Karl August Eckhardt . In Vienna he worked for Heinrich Mitteis , Emil Goldmann and Otto Brunner .

In 1934 Hans Lentze converted to the Catholic Church.

The planned habilitation did not materialize. In 1938 Hans Lentze began studying theology at the Canisianum in Innsbruck . In February 1939 he entered the Wilten Monastery of the Premonstratensians near Innsbruck. There he received the religious name Hermann-Josef. After the abolition of the monastery, he moved to the Windberg Abbey in Lower Bavaria as a novice . He continued his studies at the seminary in Linz continued and received the 1943 ordination . He worked as a chaplain and religion teacher .

In 1947 Hans Lentze completed his habilitation at the law faculty of the University of Innsbruck. His teaching license (venia docendi) included the subjects of German law and ecclesiastical legal history. In 1950 the venia was expanded to include Austrian constitutional and administrative history. In Wilten he was a librarian and archivist from 1945 to 1954 . Since 1951 he was judge of the diocesan court of Innsbruck and since 1953 a member of the legal commission of his order. Since 1954 he was an honorary member of the Catholic student association KaV Danubia Vienna-Korneuburg in the ÖCV . The canonical work for the elevation of the collegiate church in Wilten to a basilica was supervised by him in 1957.

In 1958, Hans Lentze was appointed professor of German law and Austrian constitutional and administrative history at the Faculty of Law at the University of Vienna, where he became known within the framework of the Institute for German Legal History, among other things, for his occupation with ancient death sentences . His predecessor was Hans Planitz, whose position he had already represented after his death in the winter semester of 1953. One of his employees at short notice was Alfred Komarek . He had not accepted a call to the chair of ecclesiastical law at the Innsbruck faculty, and close contacts to Wilten and Innsbruck remained, for example to his colleague Nikolaus Grass from Innsbruck .

In 1958, Hans Lentze became a corresponding, and in 1962, a real member of the philosophical-historical class of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

From 1966 his colleague from the institute in Vienna was Werner Ogris , who had been appointed from Berlin to the institute's newly founded second chair , and Hans Lentze himself had supervised his Vienna habilitation four years earlier together with Dean Heinrich Demelius .

In 1969 a commemorative publication was published on his 60th birthday. Hans Lentze died on March 24, 1970 at the age of 61. Rudolf Hoke from Saarbrücken was appointed to the chair of Hans Lentzes .
