Johann Ludwig Klüber

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Ludwig Klüber (born November 10, 1762 in Tann (Rhön) near Fulda, † February 16, 1837 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German constitutional law teacher and publicist.

Life

Johann Ludwig Klüber began his career in 1786 as a professor of law in Erlangen, followed a call to Karlsruhe as a secret trainee lawyer in 1804, was soon promoted to State and Cabinet Council and in 1807 was appointed the first professor of law in Heidelberg. At the end of 1807 the government of Baden gave him the supervision of the Mannheim observatory .

During the Vienna Congress he lived in Vienna with the permission of his government and then published files from the Vienna Congress in 1814 and 1815 (Erlangen. 1815-19, 8 vols.).

From the two most important files, the final act of the Congress of Vienna and the German Federal Act , a special copy was made (Erlangen 1816, 2nd edition 1818), the 3rd increased edition in 1830 under the title: Collection of sources on the public rights of the German Confederation (Continuation of this in 1833) and is important for the history of the origins of the Federal Act as evidence of the negotiations on the individual provisions of the Federal Act.

Klübers overview of diplomatic negotiations at the Congress of Vienna (Frankfurt 1816) also contains several treatises on individual subjects relating to German affairs. Droit des gens modern de l'Europe (Stuttgart 1819, 2 vols.) Followed his public rights of the German Confederation and the federal states (Frankfurt 1817 ).

In 1817 Klüber became the Prussian secret legation councilor under State Chancellor Karl August von Hardenberg , with whom he had already established a friendly relationship in Erlangen, led the difficult negotiations on the regulation of the legal status of the landlords , accompanied Hardenberg in 1818 to the congress in Aachen, where he received the recognition the succession (legal successor) of the Baden house, and in 1821 took over the dispute of the dissolved Grand Duchy of Frankfurt .

But hardly had the 2nd edition of his Public Law of the German Confederation etc. appeared in 1822 when the book and the author became the subject of political hereticism. After Hardenberg's death, an investigation was initiated against him, which Klüber put an end to in 1822 by applying for his dismissal from service. Since then he has lived in Frankfurt am Main, where he died on February 16, 1837.

Of his other writings, we also emphasize:

  • The coinage in Germany in its current state (Stuttgart 1829);
  • The independence of the judge's office and the independence of its judgments in judiciary (Frankfurt 1832);
  • Treatises and observations for history, political science and law (Frankfurt 1830–34, 2 vols.).

His only son, Friedrich Adolf Klüber, was Lord Mayor of Düsseldorf and briefly from 1849 to 1850 Foreign Minister of Baden.
