Heinrich Wilhelm Hayen (born August 2, 1791 in Oldenburg (Oldb) , † March 25, 1854 ibid) was a German administrative lawyer and judge .

Life

Heinrich Hayen was the son of the Oldenburg Chamber Auditor Helmerich Hayen and his wife Wilhelmine Charlotte born. Barkemeyer. After attending the grammar school in his hometown, he began studying law in 1808 at the University of Jena, where he was a member of the Guestphalia I country team founded on February 25, 1808 . In 1810 he changed his place of study and went to Heidelberg University. During his time in Heidelberg he was a member of the Corps Hannovera Heidelberg and its secretary. From there he moved to the University of Dijon together with corps brothers like Karl Ludwig Roeck after October 21, 1811 , where he completed his studies on August 8, 1812 with a licentiate in law (lic. Iur.). During his student days he kept a diary, which his son Wilhelm Hayen edited a hundred years later and which documented the university situation in Germany during the French era . Back in Oldenburg, he was initially admitted to the bar during the French occupation and from 1815 by the Oldenburg government in the same position at the regional court and in 1817 at the higher appeal court . In 1820 he was accepted as an assessor at the regional court in the grand-ducal Oldenburg judicial service. From 1827 to 1842 he was a member of the General Directorate for the Poor. In 1828 he was appointed office professor and member of the consistory, in 1830 he was appointed chancellery. From 1833 to 1836, Hayen also served as co-director of the school teachers' seminar. In 1840 he received the title of Privy Councilor and became a member of the law firm, in which his Heidelberg corps brother Friedrich Wilhelm Anton Roemer had also been active since 1819 . In the same year he was accepted into the exclusive literary society . In 1842 he became chairman of the garrison court. From 1842 to 1844 he was bailiff in Oldenburg and rose to the position of vice-president of the Oldenburg Higher Appeal Court (1847) in order to relieve the elderly President Christian Ludwig Runde . From 1849 Hayens Corpsbruder Römer was president of this court. He also documented his later life in detail in diaries and thus left an outstanding source of court life in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg for the period up to the middle of the 19th century. He maintained particularly close relationships throughout his life with his corps brothers from his time in Heidelberg in Oldenburg, but also with Roeck and Gerd Eilers .

As a conservative lawyer, Hayen advocated the introduction of jury courts in serious criminal cases in his writings, but rejected “jury courts from the people”. He also wanted to allow “representatives of the people” to be present at the final interrogation of the accused and advocated the free assessment of evidence by civil servants. He came into opposition to the French procedural law advocated by other lawyers with jury courts made up of lay judges, separation of prosecution and court as well as public and oral proceedings. Hayen's lines of thought were taken into account in the new Oldenburg Code of Criminal Procedure of 1857.

family

His first marriage was to Caroline von Lingen (1794–1822) and his second marriage to Marie Friederike von Schreeb (1803–1878). His son Wilhelm (1834–1918) later became a secret senior church councilor . The Lübeck wine merchant Heinrich Leo Behncke was a son-in-law.
