Hans Schlosser

Hans Schlosser (born June 29, 1934 in Brno ) is a German lawyer and former professor at the University of Augsburg .

Life

Schlosser comes from a German-Moravian family who were expelled from there to Bavaria in 1945 . He passed the Abitur at the grammar school of the Benedictine Abbey Scheyern (today part of the Schyren grammar school , since 1970 in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm ). After studying law at the universities of Munich and Frankfurt am Main , Schlosser passed his first state examination in law in 1959. After the subsequent legal clerkship, the second state examination followed in 1963. Already in 1962 he had worked for Ekkehard Kaufmannto the Dr. iur. PhD. Then Schlosser worked as a scientific assistant to Hermann Krause in Munich. There he completed his habilitation in 1969 with a thesis on late medieval civil proceedings in Bavaria and received the venia legendi for the subjects of German legal history, modern private law history and civil law.

After substituting professorships at the Universities of Munich and Marburg , Schlosser accepted the call to the University of Augsburg, which was newly founded in 1970, for the full professorship for civil law and legal history. Together with Herbert Buchner and Günter Bemmann , he designed the Augsburg single-stage legal training program (discontinued in 1985). In his first year as a professor, he was also the department spokesman , and from 1972 to 1974 vice president of the university. He turned down calls from the Saarland University and the Free University of Berlin . He retired in 2002, but continues to teach, since 2002 at the Italian universities of Catania and Messina , and since 2004 also at the newly founded University of Law in Bratislava .
