In 1915 he signed with Albert Einstein , Max Weber and Ludwig Quidde, among others , one of the then widespread "intellectual petitions", which in this case advocated a peace of understanding and rejected the incorporation or affiliation of politically independent peoples accustomed to independence, such as the three weeks previously published Seeberg address had requested in favor of a victory peace . In 1917 he signed the "Declaration against the Reichstag majority", which supported a peace of understanding. Until 1918 he was a member of the German Reich Party .

Services

One of Triepel's significant achievements in life was the establishment of the Association of German Constitutional Law Teachers in 1921/22. The basic idea was to create a forum for mutual consultation and exchange under the conditions of the post-war period and the new constitutional situation. The association met annually in different locations until 1932 and took up extremely topical issues, such as the question of federalism under the new constitution or the dictatorship of the Reich President . From 1932, the association was initially still formally continued, in 1938 it was dissolved and not re-established until 1949, primarily on the initiative of Walter Jellinek . Triepel rejected National Socialism and opposed the conformity of the constitutional law teachers' association. The high point of Triepel's academic career was his rectorate year 1926/1927. The words with which he handed over the magnificent rector's coat to his successor were often quoted: "This coat is heavy, and that's a good thing, you can't hang it so easily."

Triepel wrote numerous works on constitutional and international law, which had formative effects on contemporary and current understanding of law. He is considered to be the founder of the dualistic doctrine in international law. From 1901 he published the collection of sources on constitutional, administrative and international law .
