Life

Johann Gustav Gallois was a son of Jacob Gallois (1793–1872), who taught the French language as a teacher at the Johanneum in Hamburg . His mother was Marie Emilie Rodatz, daughter of the organist Amandus Eberhard Rodatz . He was a student at the Johanneum and grammar school and was already active as a grammar school student in the city ​​library and as a private tutor. On May 6, 1835, Gallois was enrolled at Heidelberg University to study law . After a year he moved to the University of Göttingen and was awarded a Dr. jur. PhD. Gallois returned to Hamburg and was enrolled as a lawyer on May 18, 1838 . In this capacity, he took part in large criminal trials several times, for example in 1854 as the defender of the robbery murderer Wilhelm Timm.

In January 1846 Gallois founded the “Association of Non-Land Owners”, which he described as Hamburg's first political association. Anyone from Hamburg who was neither a landowner nor an official could become a member. In contrast to the hereditary people , this group was largely excluded from the public bodies.
