Heinrich Singer
Heinrich Singer (born June 27, 1855 in Brno , † August 19, 1934 in Prague ) was an Austrian legal scholar. He devoted himself to canon law and legal history.
Life
Singer studied from 1872 at the University of Vienna . As a student of Ivo Pfaff and Friedrich Maassen , he was awarded Dr. iur. PhD . In 1879 he qualified as a professor for canonical and material Austrian civil law . In 1881 he went as associate professor at the Franz Joseph's University Czernowitz , which it 1885 o. Professor appointed. In 1886/87 he was dean of the law faculty and in 1887/88 rector of the university. His rectorate speech on October 4, 1887 dealt with Gustav von Hugo . In 1891, he followed Anton Nissl at the University of Innsbruck as full professor of canon law . Five years later he moved to the German University in Prague in the same position . In 1917 he opposed the move of the Chernivtsi University to Salzburg, which was discussed during the First World War , in a 70-page document . It certainly has a political function, namely "to defend and promote the idea of the Reich and the state language". Because:
"Out of pure love and enthusiasm for science, in order to prepare a home for its teaching and maintenance, princes and states have probably never founded a university at all."
