Hendrik Hiwi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hendrik Hiwi is the pseudonym of one or more authors from around the Federal Constitutional Court .

The artificial name Hiwi corresponds to the usual abbreviation for the scientific staff at the Federal Constitutional Court . The term Hiwi was originally adopted as an abbreviation for volunteers from the time of the Second World War ; today, however, it is mostly understood as an abbreviation for auxiliary scientists. The job of the student assistant is according to Section 13 of the Rules of Procedure of the Federal Constitutional Court (GOBVerfG) provides support for the member of the court to which he has been assigned after his selection in his official work. It can therefore be assumed that the pseudonym Hendrik Hiwi is based on academic staff who were employed by the Federal Constitutional Court at the time of the respective publication or before.

Hendrik Hiwi first appeared in 1996 when the Vice President of the Federal Constitutional Court, Johann Friedrich Henschel , who was leaving office at the time, received the detective novel Leichen in the basement of the Federal Constitutional Court as a farewell gift from his academic staff . In it, what happens in court is outlined in a humorous way; under various cover names such as Dr. Cemetery , constitutional judges at the time are also part of the plot. The legendary (alleged) former research assistant at the Federal Constitutional Court, Friedrich Gottlob Nagelmann, gives a short guest appearance . As a criminalistic element u. a. the federal eagle , which falls from the wall at the wrong time.

On the occasion of Henschel's 70th birthday, Hiwi wrote a volume of poems, Verfassungslyric (the comma is part of the title).

The authors behind the pseudonym are still not known by name. (Status: 2015)
