Life

During his studies in 1869 he became a member of the Arminia Breslau fraternity . After studying law at the University of Wroclaw , he spent his traineeship at the Royal Court of Appeal in Wroclaw from 1870, where he was awarded a Dr. iur. PhD .

He was also a member of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property. In 1883 he was accepted as a Freemason in the Balduin zur Linde Lodge in Leipzig . In 1892 he affiliated with Lodge Victoria in Berlin , which as a "humanitarian" (not exclusively Christian) subsidiary of the Great Masonic Lodge of Prussia, called Kaiser Friedrich, also opened up the possibility of membership in a Prussian Masonic lodge for men of other religions . Here he became chair master, later assigned grandmaster and, upon leaving this office, honorary grandmaster. With the dissolution of the lodge (1900) he moved to the great lodge in Hamburg. In the same year 1892 he successfully led the legal dispute for Hermann Settegast with the Berlin police headquarters against the edict of October 20, 1798, in which the old Prussian grand lodges were granted territorial or exclusive rights for the Prussian states. The verdict of April 22, 1893 made it possible for all other German lodges to settle in Prussia. As a writer he wrote about stock corporation law and stock exchange legislation and wrote numerous articles on Masonic issues in the magazines Die Baussteine and Die Bauhütte . He was married to Johanna Hammerschlag.
