Hermann Johann Friedrich von Schulze-Gävernitz , Nobilitierung 1888, Badischer Nobility , (born September 24, 1824 in Jena , † October 27, 1888 in Heidelberg ) was a German legal scholar , constitutional lawyer and legal historian . He was the undisputed authority of princely law .

Life

As the son of the economist and farmer Friedrich Gottlob Schulze , he studied law at the University of Jena . In 1842 he became a member of the Arminia fraternity in the castle cellar . He received his doctorate as Dr. iur. and completed his habilitation in Jena in 1847.

He enthusiastically welcomed the German Revolution of 1848/1849 and was convinced that only Prussia could create a German nation-state . In 1851 he toured England , France and Belgium .

In 1857 he followed the call of the Silesian Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Breslau to her chair for constitutional law. Attending his patriotic lectures was made an obligation of the fraternities . In 1863 he married Louise Milde , the daughter of the Prussian politician and industrialist Karl August Milde . This marriage produced five children. One son was the future economist and politician Gerhart von Schulze-Gaevernitz . One daughter married the theologian Hans Hinrich Wendt .

Elected rector of the University of Breslau for the academic year 1873/74 , Schulze dealt in his rectorate speech on October 15, 1873 with legal protection in the field of public law. After the German War he devoted himself to the constitutional law of the North German Confederation , which he (rightly) regarded as a temporary measure. He wrote life pictures of Robert von Mohl and his father.

Although he had acquired a manor in Krainsdorf in the county of Glatz , he moved to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg in 1878 . From 1881 to 1888 he represented the university in the First Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly . He died in office at the age of 64.

Prussia

As an old liberal he became a member of the National Liberal Party , which put him up as a candidate for the Prussian state parliament . The speech for his friend Leo Molinari was praised as a masterpiece by Gustav Freytag .

Like no other Schulze dealt with the law of dynasties , not only in the Kingdom of Prussia , but also in the Kingdom of Portugal , the Principality of Lippe and the Duchy of Oels . In 1866 he published a series of articles in the Schlesische Zeitung , which appeared as an anthology.

For his significant work on the Principality of Neuchâtel , he received the Order of the Red Eagle . In 1869 he became a Prussian crown syndic and - due to the Prussian constitution - a lifelong member of the Prussian mansion . Shortly before his death in the three emperor's year (like many important university professors) he was ennobled and added his father's estate Gävernitz to his name .
