Herbert Fiedler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herbert Fiedler (born April 29, 1929 in Zwittau , Moravia ; † October 15, 2015 ) was a German legal scholar and one of the founders of legal informatics in Germany.

Life

After graduating from high school in 1948, Fiedler studied law and then mathematics / physics with a focus on mathematical logic and basic research . For the latter he was funded by the German National Academic Foundation . In 1955 he received his doctorate in Göttingen with a criminal law thesis on the subject of project and attempt. An investigation into the basics of German case law on § 43 StGB on Dr. jur. In 1962 the doctorate to Dr.rer.nat followed at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster with a mathematical thesis on the step reduction of calculi . In 1969 he completed his habilitation at the University of Cologne on the subject of the determinateness of statutory criminal offenses as a methodological and constitutional problem . In the same year he took over a professorship ( criminal law ) at the University of Bielefeld . In 1970 calls were made to Bielefeld and Bonn. His academic career thus took him to Bonn , where he was full professor at the Faculty of Law and Political Science from 1970 until his retirement in 1994 . At the same time, Fiedler was in charge of the newly founded Research Center for Legal Informatics and Automation (FJI) in Bonn and was head of various organizational units of the Society for Mathematics and Data Processing (GMD). From 1970 to 1972, Fiedler headed the system analysis and conception of the juris project for GMD (GmbH 1985). He then oversaw a large number of IT support projects for the judiciary and public administration. In addition, Fiedler had been a member of the Society for Computer Science (GI) since 1972 and was often a spokesman for various relevant specialist divisions in the field of computer science, law and public administration. In addition, he was involved in the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), the German Society for Law and Informatics (DGRI) and the International Legal Informatics Symposium (IRIS). Fiedler was married and had two children. - He died in 2015

Act

At an early age, Fiedler focused his scientific work on the topics of law, logic and mathematics and then focused on formalization in law and the importance of law as a contribution to basic research into legal data processing . This inevitably gave rise to further questions, in particular the organization of information technology-based public administration, computer-aided legal expert systems , as well as data protection and data security, or information as an economic asset. His particular concern is the continued existence of the state in cyberspace . Fiedler took up these topics at a very early stage and thus formulated questions that the modern information society still has to face today.
