Johann Friedrich Eberhard Böhmer

Johann Friedrich Eberhard Böhmer (born April 9, 1753 in Göttingen ; † August 25, 1828 there ) was a German legal scholar and professor at the University of Göttingen .

Live and act

Johann Friedrich Eberhard Böhmer was the son of the Göttingen law professor Georg Ludwig Böhmer and Henriette Elisabeth Philippine Mejer (1734–1796) and the grandson of Justus Henning Böhmer . Two of his brothers were the later Jacobin Georg Wilhelm Böhmer and Johann Franz Wilhelm Böhmer, the first husband of Caroline Schelling . In the tradition of the Böhmer / Boehmer family, he also studied law at the University of Göttingen and graduated with his dissertation in 1779, whereupon his father personally awarded him his doctorate as primary and full professor of the law faculty.

On January 21, 1780, Böhmer was appointed as a full assessor of the law faculty and at the same time, with his brother Justus Ludwig Bechtold Böhmer (1755-1821) and his brother-in-law Georg Jacob Friedrich Meister, as an extraordinary assessor of the panel of judges. In 1782 he was taken on as an associate professor and two years later as a full professor of law. Böhmer carried out this activity until his retirement in 1820 and in the meantime had been appointed as a full assessor of the university's panel of judgments in 1797.

One silhouette each of Johann Friedrich Eberhard Böhmer and his father can be found in the "Göttingen Silhouettes", a collection of 50 ink-drawn panels with portraits of professors and members of the University of Göttingen, probably completed in 1790.

Boehmer was married to Dorothea Elisabeth Busse (1760-1803), with whom he had the daughter Rosalia Louisa Amalia (1801-1886), who later married the Herzberg superintendent Johann Friedrich Starke.
