Heinrich Bocer (born January 6, 1561 in Salzkotten , † July 5, 1630 in Tübingen ) was a German law professor in Tübingen.

Life

Heinrich Bocer studied law from 1577 under Bigelius in Marburg , under Borcholt in Helmstedt as well as in Heidelberg and Strasbourg . He received his doctorate in Tübingen in 1585/86 and then became a lecturer at the University of Tübingen. In 1595 he became professor of feudal and criminal law and from 1587 was an assessor at the Württemberg court. He devoted himself entirely to his academic career from 1595 after receiving a full professorship. He turned down an appointment as Vice Chancellor of the Württemberg government in 1604. Four years later, however, Bocer became councilor of Württemberg.

Along with Johannes Christoph Harpprecht, Bocer was one of the most respected Tübingen law professors and legal authors of his time. In his mostly thesis-like formulated disputations, he mainly dealt with criminal and feudal law as well as Roman law. Bocer went into more detail on many criminal offenses and was often quoted in expert practice. At the same time, numerous dissertations were produced under his leadership, for example on the usefulness of defense.

Occasionally he was accused of being too close to Lombard law. Especially with his treatises on Roman law, however, Bocer tried to maintain the humanistic jurisprudence of the 16th century.

family

In June 1585 he married Kordula Riepp (* around 1535) and in 1607 Eufrosine Halbritter, daughter of Johannes Halbritter , Professor of Law in Tübingen, and the Eufrosine Kyrrwang. He lived with her in the upper Hafengasse in Tübingen. He was the founder of the Bocer scholarship.
