Hermann Georg Krohn

Hermann Georg Krohn (born April 5, 1705 in Rostock , † May 11, 1756 in Lübeck ) was a German lawyer and syndic of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck .

Life

Krohn was the son of Rostock Syndicus and later Lübeck mayor Johann Adolph Krohn , who moved from Rostock to Lübeck in 1716. After visiting the Lübeck Katharineum , he studied law at the universities of Leipzig and Giessen from 1724 . In 1727 he traveled to the Imperial Court of Justice in Wetzlar for study purposes and then to Holland, England, where he witnessed the coronation celebrations for King George II , and France. In 1728 he was at the University of Basel Dr. jur. obtained his doctorate and continued his journey via Regensburg to Vienna.

After returning to his hometown, he practiced as a lawyer. In 1735 he became an urban sub-syndicus and referendarius. Linked to this was the supervision of the city ​​archive and the registry. In 1741 the council appointed him second syndicus and received the mandate to represent the council before the Reich Chamber of Commerce in the process of Mölln and the Möllner pertinence . In 1742 he returned to Lübeck and was soon appointed the oldest syndicus and president of the consistory. Due to illness, he asked for his release in 1753.

For his father's lengthy civil lawsuit with a distant relative in an inheritance dispute that went as far as the Reich Chamber of Commerce, he wrote a series of treatises on Luebian inheritance law, which underpinned his view of the primacy of full birth and Luebian particular law over Roman law . As a result of this and the counter-writings of the Celle Higher Appeal Court Judge Johann Christian Bacmeister (1703–1766), son of the Celle office director Johann Christian Bacmeister , the process achieved a literary quality that far surpassed the occasion.

Since 1730 he was with Catharina Elisabeth, geb. Balemann, the daughter of the mayor Heinrich Balemann married. She died in 1746. Of the couple's children, Anne Catherine married the doctor Carl Werner Curtius, the father of Carl Georg Curtius . The son Hermann Diedrich Krohn became mayor of Lübeck.
