Life

The son of the city judge Caspar Anton Pape and his wife Franziska grew up in his hometown and attended the Progymnasium here . After visiting the school Petrinum Brilon and - from 1831 - the school Petrinum Recklinghausen and the Baccalaureate in Recklinghausen in 1833 studied Pape 1833-1836 Law at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University and the Friedrich-Wilhelms University . In Bonn he became a member of the Corps Guestphalia in 1833 .

After graduating, he joined the Prussian judicial service as an auscultator in 1837 . After passing the assessor examination in 1843 ("very good"), he became an assessor at the Higher Regional Court in Stettin after being employed as an assistant judge . In the 1st legislative period of 1849 he sat as a member of the Minden 5 constituency in the Prussian House of Representatives . In 1850 he became a district judge and member of the Maritime and Commercial Court in Stettin and in 1856 a judge of appeal in Königsberg .

From 1858 to 1861 he participated as an authorized Prussian member in the drafting of the German Commercial Code . In 1859 he was appointed the secret judicial council and lecturing council in the Ministry of Justice . He also worked from 1861 to 1864 on the procedural rules for civil law issues of the Prussian state. In 1867 he was appointed Privy Higher Justice Councilor and Prussian Plenipotentiary in the Federal Council of the North German Confederation and in the Zollverein . Here he worked in the "Commission for the preparation of the draft of a code of civil procedure for the North German Confederation ".

In 1869, Pape was appointed President of the newly created Federal and later Reich Higher Commercial Court in Leipzig . He held this position until it was integrated into the Reichsgericht in 1879. He rejected the imposition of the Reichsjustizamt to accept him into the Reichsgericht only with the rank of Senate President. Leipzig granted him honorary citizenship on his farewell.

In 1873 , Pape, who was appointed Real Secret Council with the title of excellence , was entrusted by Otto von Bismarck with the office of President of the Commission for the Development of a General German Civil Code . This commission submitted its draft in 1888. He did not live to see the further discussion and the appointment of a second commission.
