Hulderich von Eyben or Ulrich von Eyben , latinized Huldericus ab Eyben , also Huldrich von Eyben and Huldreich von Eyben , (born November 20, 1629 in Norden ; † July 25, 1699 in Wetzlar ) was a German lawyer, imperial court judge and university professor at the university Giessen and the University of Helmstedt .

Live and act

He was the son of Esens Hayo von Eyben († 1637) and his wife Maria Loringa . They sent the young Hulderich to the convent school Marienthal in the Münsterland. He then studied law in Rinteln , Marburg and Gießen , where he received his doctorate in both rights in 1655. From 1655 he was initially a law professor in Gießen before he took over the chair of Heinrich Hahn (1605–1668) at the law faculty of the University of Helmstedt in 1669 . In the same year he was appointed to the Brunswick-Lüneburg council. From 1678 Eyben worked as an assessor at the Imperial Court of Justice , which had its seat first in Speyer and then in Wetzlar. In 1680 Emperor Leopold appointed him imperial council and raised him to the nobility. However, Eyben probably did not want to use the title baron on official occasions because he did not like the Latin origin of the word ( baro = booby). Nevertheless, Eyben was accepted into the imperial knighthood in 1688 .

Eyben enjoyed a high contemporary reputation. Today he is characterized as a typical, quite important legal scholar of the 17th century. Little is known about his practical work at the Reich Chamber of Commerce. His traditional university writings are thematically very broad; they deal e.g. B. with legal training as well as questions of private law, public law and feudal law. With his interesting treatise De origine brocardico: Everyone is emperor in his country , Eyben made a name for himself as a mediator of legal proverbs.

He was married to Anna Maria, geb. Tülsner, the daughter of Professor Georg Tülsner from Giessen. Their son Christian Wilhelm von Eyben also became a lawyer.

In 1696, Hulderich von Eyben, widowed three times, married Barbara Helene Pusch (* around 1670) from Breslau three years before his death.

His epitaph is in the Wetzlar Cathedral .
