Johann Heinrich Steinthal (born December 16, 1825 in Hamburg ; † December 30, 1911 there ) was a German lawyer .

Life

Steinthal was a son of the Hamburg merchant Moritz Steinthal († 1848), who had come to Hamburg from Stendal as a child . Following the school visit to the Johanneum Steinthal began in the spring of 1846, a university and was on July 6, 1849 in Heidelberg to Dr. jur. PhD. In Hamburg he acquired upper citizenship and was admitted to the High Court on August 20, 1849 as a lawyer . By decree of the Hamburg Senate of August 8, 1879, he became a lawyer at the three courts. Due to the increase in his part-time activities, he was deleted from the list of lawyers in 1890.

In May 1883 he was appointed a jurist member of the appraisal commission, which was used for necessary expropriations in connection with the customs connection of Hamburg. The competence of this commission was extended in 1886 to all expropriations in Hamburg as well as other compensation matters. Steinthal was its deputy chairman until December 1893. In addition, he officiated from November 1885 as chairman of the arbitration tribunal for accident cases. After its conversion to the arbitration tribunal for workers' insurance in December 1900, he remained chairman. His resignation from the appraisal commission in 1893 threatened to lose his status as a public official , which, however, was necessary for the office of chairman of the arbitral tribunal. In order not to lose Steinthal's experience in this area and to maintain his civil service status, the Senate applied for him on November 24, 1893 to submit him directly to the board of directors of the Office for the Judiciary. The application was approved on December 6, 1893 by the Hamburg citizenship .

In the years 1871, 1874, 1877 and 1880 he acted as election commissioner in the Reichstag elections . In addition, from October 1881 to April 1883 he was Reich stamp auditor. Steinthal was called up for the period from 1862 to 1865 for the dismissed August Friedrich Brödermann in the Hamburg citizenship after he had been elected as a substitute in the parish of St. Petri . He was also a member of the citizenship from 1885 to 1892.

Steinthal retired on October 1, 1904.
