Hermann Strauch (born December 4, 1838 in Frankfurt am Main , † September 28, 1904 in Heidelberg ) was a German legal scholar . From 1873 to 1899 he was professor of law, legal philosophy and international law at the University of Heidelberg .

Life

Strauch was born the son of a Frankfurt citizen and trader. He attended grammar school in Frankfurt from 1848 , which he left with the Abitur in 1857 . He studied law at the universities in Bonn , Heidelberg and Vienna . His professors in Heidelberg included Adolph von Vangerow , Heinrich Zöpfl and Heinrich Marquardsen . At the University of Vienna he attended lectures by Julius Glaser and Joseph Unger . He finished his studies in Vienna and passed the state judicial examination in 1861. Strauch initially entered the Austrian judicial service as a legal trainee at the Imperial and Royal District Court of Vienna, but a short time later he took on a position as a teacher with Count von Schönborn .

In July 1862 he received his doctorate from the law faculty of the University of Vienna. He worked in a Viennese law firm and court chancellery and at the same time worked as a co-editor of the Allgemeine Österreichische Rechtszeitung. In July 1865 , he completed his habilitation as a private lecturer at Heidelberg University. After a call to Dorpater University was rejected , Strauch was appointed associate professor of law at Heidelberg University in February 1873 . He gave lectures on the introduction to jurisprudence, legal philosophy and international law, but also on the development of political-social theories, Prussian constitutional history and the history of the German unity movement. In addition, he was appointed head of the library of the Heidelberg legal seminar.

Strauch remained unmarried and only had close contact with a few colleagues. He was committed to the German School Association and the German Fleet Association . Due to a severe kidney disease, he had to stop his lectures in the summer semester of 1899. Hermann Strauch died alone on September 28, 1904 at the age of 65 in Heidelberg. Although he had a wide range of university lectures in his field, Strauch left only a few writings. His main work, Origin and Nature of Regalia , was published as a habilitation thesis in 1865. In 1879 he contributed to the commemorative publication on the occasion of Johann Caspar Bluntschli's fiftieth doctoral anniversary . The great textbook on international law announced in the Jubilee Almanac in 1886 was never finished or printed by him. As a co-author of the Baden Biographies , he wrote several essays on Heinrich Zöpfl and Karl David August Röder, among others. Part of his written estate is in the Heidelberg University Library , another part is kept at the Institute for Urban History (Frankfurt am Main) .

He earned merit through a legacy of 18,000 marks for the Strauch Foundation, from which, after reaching 30,000 marks, the interest could be awarded as an annual travel grant to a lecturer or unpaid professor of law from the law faculty of Heidelberg University.
