Heinrich Hermann Fitting
Heinrich Hermann Fitting (born August 27, 1831 in Mauchenheim , † December 3, 1918 in Halle (Saale) ) was a German lawyer.
Life
Fitting studied 1848-52 at the universities of Würzburg , Heidelberg (under Karl Adolph von Vangerow ) and Erlangen , where he received his doctorate in law in 1852 and published his inaugural dissertation on the concept of main and counter-evidence and related questions (Erlangen 1853).
After he had gone through the Bavarian administrative and judicial practice in 1852-54 and lived in Paris for several months in 1855 in order to get to know the French litigation practice, he qualified as a professor in Heidelberg in 1856 with the work On the Concept of Retraction (Erlangen 1856) as a private lecturer in Roman Law and process.
In 1857 he became associate professor and the following year full professor of Roman law at the University of Basel . Here he wrote the monograph Die Natur der Korrealobligationen (Erlangen 1859) and the academic program On the Age of the Writings of Roman Jurists from Hadrian to Alexander (Basel 1860).
In the fall of 1862 he followed a call to Halle as a full professor. In addition to numerous articles in magazines, namely in the archive for civilist practice , in whose editing he participated since 1864, and whose editing he was mainly responsible for since the death of Karl Joseph Mittermaier (1867), and a comprehensive historical-dogmatic monograph: Das castrense peculium (Halle 1871), he wrote other valuable legal historical works.
At the end of the 19th century, Fittich caused a controversy with Max Conrat (Cohn), because Conrat took the position of some medievalists and legal historians that after the end of late antiquity , scientific legal activity only came back with the glossators . Fittig, however, was of the opinion that there had been constant continuity in the development of Roman law, especially in the schools of law in Rome, Pavias and Ravennas.
