Johann Friedrich Kierulff
Johann Friedrich Martin Kierulff (born December 9, 1806 in Schleswig ; † July 17, 1894 in Lübeck ) was a German lawyer and politician and a member of the Frankfurt National Assembly.
Life
Johann Friedrich Kierulff was born in Schleswig in 1806 as the son of a valet of a high military. He studied law from 1824 to 1829 at the universities of Kiel and Munich law and was 1831 in Kiel Dr. jur. PhD. After a time as a private lecturer , he became a professor in Kiel in 1834. In 1842 he moved to Rostock, where he was appointed to the higher appellate judge in 1843. Later as Vice President he also served as a judge at the Rostock Higher Appeal Court. In 1853 he became President of the Higher Appeal Court of the Four Free Cities in Lübeck, where he retired in 1879 when the court was dissolved by the Reich Justice Acts on October 1, 1879.
Kierulff belonged to the Frankfurt pre-parliament as secretary as early as 1848 and became a member of the Fifties Committee , which prepared the constitution of the National Assembly. He was elected as a member of parliament by the electors of the 1st Mecklenburg constituency of Rostock. He was a member of the Frankfurt National Assembly from May 18, 1848 to May 26, 1849 . In the Paulskirche parliament he was president of the protocol commission and belonged to the left center with the parliamentary group Württemberger Hof . Contemporaries described Kierulff as the dry legal scholar type . This is countered by the fact that he was a member of several music associations and societies. Last but not least, his merit is that he strived for new practical legal principles that went beyond the solidified Roman law. His main work, the theory of common civil law , appeared in 1839. In the National Assembly, Klierulff made several speeches on the constitutional question and the election of the emperor. These speeches, however, showed a different spirit than that of the dry legal scholar. As a member of the legislative committee, he appeared again on April 24, 1849, shortly before the failure of the National Assembly, before the deputies.
After the failure of the National Assembly, he took part in the Gotha post-parliament and was a member of the Erfurt Union Parliament in 1850 .
