from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann-Arnold Schultze-von Lasaulx [laˈsoː] (born October 21, 1901 in Jena as Hermann-Arnold Schultze ; † October 1, 1999 in Renan / Italy or Renan / Switzerland ) was a German lawyer , legal historian and university professor .

Life

Schultze-von Lasaulx's father was the lawyer and legal historian Alfred Schultze ; his maternal grandfather was Arnold von Lasaulx . Since 1928 he consistently called himself Schultze-von Lasaulx .

After graduating from the Thomas School in Leipzig , he studied law and art history in Leipzig , Breslau and Munich . After successful promotion at Paul Rehme he initially from 1927 Judge at the District Court of Leipzig , then in 1930 assistant of Arthur Benno Schmidt in Tübingen . There he completed his habilitation in 1931 for civil law, commercial law , German legal history and Nordic law . He then started teaching in Rostock . After serving as dean of the Faculty of Law and Economics (1934/1935), he was elected rector of the university for the academic year 1935 , but did not take up this post after the intervention of Gauleiter Friedrich Hildebrandt in favor of Paul Schulze .

Instead, he followed a call to Jena . At the Jena faculty from 1935 he belonged to a group of “young, aspiring, at least open-minded lecturers” led by Ulrich Scheuner and Günter Haupt . He had already joined the NSDAP in 1933 (membership number 4,869,266), in 1934 the NS teacher and lecturer association , and in April 1934 the SA . In 1936 he became a member of the Academy for German Law . From Sicherheitsdienst Schultze-of Lasaulx was rated as "reliable political", but wrong in the same dissident Jena conversation circle around Ricarda Huch . In 1940/41 he was dean of the Faculty of Law and Economics in Jena and ordered that “ comments written by Jews be replaced by comments made by Aryan authors” in the faculty libraries . However, legal history exams have also been handed down, and when they were assessed, he criticized anti-Semitic statements on world Jewry and marked the work as “inadequate”. In the oral exam, however, he expected candidates to have in-depth knowledge of Nazi law and examined, for example, the National Socialist Sterilization Act . In retrospect, he referred to such laws as "injustice legislation".

In 1941 he moved to Wroclaw as the successor to Hans Thieme . In addition to office he was a judge at the Court of Appeal Wroclaw . Shortly before the end of the war, he took over from Heinz Meyer as head of the legal department of the Eastern Europe Institute .

After the Second World War he returned to the University of Jena for a short time, but was suspended in November 1946 , whereupon he left the Soviet occupation zone . After successful denazification in the British zone of occupation , he succeeded the missing George Löning in Münster . Here he founded the Institute for Westphalian and German Legal History and Legal Folklore and set up a legal history library that still exists today on the basis of the posthumous library of Eberhard von Künßberg . In 1951 he took up a part-time position as a judge at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court and finally moved to Hamburg as a professor in 1955 (successor to Karl Haff ). In 1955/1956 he was dean of the Faculty of Law.

After his retirement in 1970 he went blind and then died on vacation at the age of 97.

His habilitation thesis on the legal history of securities was accepted as "one of the best phenomena that has recently brought about in the purely legal-historical field".

In 1969 he set up a research center for Eastern Law at his Hamburg institute under the direction of Georg Geilke. This was a job funded by the Federal Ministry for Pan-German Issues , which primarily issued expert opinions on the legal situation in the event of expulsion damage caused by the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe in 1945–1950 .

Schultze-von Lasaulx was extremely committed to teaching. In addition to the history of German private law, his teaching repertoire also included cooperative law, copyright and inventor law, securities law, agricultural law, water, forest, hunting, fishing and mining law, as well as Scandinavian and Swiss legal history. He supervised numerous doctoral theses and was known to a whole generation of Hamburg lawyers under the nickname Lasso -Schultze .
