Johann Christoph Rodbertus
Johann Christoph Rodbertus (born November 19, 1775 in Barth ; † March 16, 1827 in Beseritz ) was a German legal scholar.
Life
Johann Christoph Rodbertus was the son of the Barther merchant and ship owner Johann Nicolaus Rodbertus (1752–1828) and his wife Katharina Westphal (1743–1784). The parents were wealthy and not poorly well-off, as some necrologists reported . This assertion goes back to the religious view of life of the father, who was a member of the auxiliary Bible committee for the city and the church district of Barth , felt himself to be "poor Christ" and was buried in the Barther poor cemetery.
As the youngest of eight children and probably according to his own inclinations, a commercial career was not a necessity for him. The father sent him to the Greifswald city school . He then studied law at the Universities of Greifswald and Göttingen . After receiving his doctorate in 1795, he returned to Greifswald . There he became a lecturer in 1802, adjunct in 1803 and later professor of Roman law . The Swedish Pomeranian government appointed him Royal Swedish Council of Justice .
During the French period he gave up his teaching post in 1808 and moved with his family to Beseritz in Mecklenburg-Strelitz . There he devoted himself to farming on the 1,100 hectare estate that his wife had inherited. He later bought it from her. In addition, he wrote political studies that were published in magazines such as the Greifswalderkritischen Nachrichten and in Häberlein's State Archive .
family
Johann Christoph Rodbertus married on May 14, 1803 Eleonore Schlettwein (born November 24, 1784 in Gießen; † 1849), the daughter of the economist Johann August Schlettwein and Friederike von Geusau (1747-1802). The marriage had two children. The son Johann Karl Rodbertus (1805–1875) became an economist and is considered the founder of state socialism . The daughter Mathilde Rodbertus (1804–1886) married Franz von Lepel (1803–1877), landowner in Wieck near Gützkow and Prussian politician , with whom she was involved in the Inner Mission in Pomerania .
