Johann Heumann of Teutschenbrunn
Johann Heumann von Teutschenbrunn (born February 11, 1711 in Muggendorf in Upper Franconia ; † September 29, 1760 in Altdorf near Nuremberg ) was a German legal historian and an important diplomat .
Heumann von Teutschenbrunn initially studied history and law at the University of Altdorf , before he became an official in Weimar in 1739 and an associate professor the following year . In 1744 he was appointed full professor at the University of Altdorf.
Heumann published numerous writings in the field of document theory and so-called German law. In contrast, his Commentarii de re diplomatica imperatorum ac regum Germanorum (2 vols., Nuremberg 1745–1753) and the Commentarii de re diplomatica imperatricum Augustarum ac reginarum Germaniae (Nuremberg 1749) retained their value because of the documents published in them.
In his work Initia iuris politiae Germanorum (Nuremberg 1757) Heumann drafted the first system of German police law . Initia was important for establishing police law as an independent subject and research area at German universities.
Heumann was of I. Emperor Francis in 1759 with the title of Teutsch Brunn in the kingdom nobility raised and died on September 29, 1760 Altdorf.
