from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Hermann Anton Basedow (born May 4, 1874 in Hamburg ; † 1940 ) was a German lawyer and politician of the German Democratic Party (DDP).

From March 1, 1901, he worked as a lawyer in Hamburg . In the First World War he took part as a captain in Belgium .

Legal work

Inspired by the criminal lawyer Franz von Liszt , Basedow's dissertation on criminal law dealt with the question of whether awareness of illegality is a conceptual feature of guilt . On the basis of a radically naturalistic view he arrives at a psychological redefinition of the concept of guilt. Although this text is described as stimulating and worth reading in the more recent literature on the history of criminal law, it was not received either by Liszt or by the rest of the criminal law studies of the time.

politics

Basedow was a member of the first freely elected Hamburg parliament for the German Democratic Party (DDP) from 1919 to 1921. Before that, he sat in the parliament of the city of Hamburg from 1907 and from 1910 to 1913 . He was also a member of the building deputation .
