Heinrich Titze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Emil Heinrich Titze (born October 23, 1872 in Berlin ; † April 7, 1945 there ) was a German legal scholar .

Life

The son of the publisher Adolf Titze moved with his parents from Berlin to Leipzig in 1878 , where he attended elementary school from Easter 1879 and from Easter 1883 to Easter 1892 the royal grammar school, which he left with the school leaving certificate. He then studied law at the universities of Leipzig , where he was particularly influenced by Emil Strohal , Heidelberg and Berlin . In 1897 he received his doctorate in Berlin and three years later the habilitation in Göttingen .

In 1902 he was appointed associate professor at the University of Göttingen and in 1908 full professor. In 1917 he accepted an appointment as professor of Roman law , civil law and legal history at the University of Frankfurt am Main , where he became rector in 1918. From 1923 to 1938 he was professor for civil and Roman law at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin. Even after his retirement he remained active in his teaching post .

Act

His scientific endeavors were primarily concerned with legal business theory and the basic questions of the law of obligations. His extensive work on the impossibility of performance and on the doctrine of misunderstanding has enduring importance.

Titze's contributions to the Concise Dictionary of Jurisprudence and the Concise Comparative Legal Dictionary as well as his presentation of the Law of Obligations are summaries of his academic work.

The publication of the then leading hand commentary on the Civil Code and his lecture on Richter power and contract show Titze understanding of practical issues of Zivilistik .

With his comprehensive presentation of the law of commercial employees , he made an important contribution to the developing modern German labor law . His distinction between the abstract and the concrete principal has been incorporated into all subsequent presentations of labor law.

Titze is also considered one of the pioneers of German comparative law .

From 1917 he was co-editor of the journal for foreign and international private law and from 1929 to 1949 of the comparative law dictionary .

His scientific estate is in the Secret State Archives in Berlin-Dahlem .
