Live and act

Johann Strauch was born four years before the outbreak of the Thirty Years War in Colditz, Saxony. His father Johann Strauch was the rent master of the widowed Electress Sophie von Sachsen , who Colditz had made her widow's residence. He received his first lessons in Colditz before going to high school in Zeitz . In 1630 he studied law and philosophy at the University of Leipzig , then went to the University of Wittenberg and continued his studies in 1633 at the University of Jena , where he was warmly welcomed by a close relative, Professor Friedrich Hortleder . Through him the young Johann Strauch also got access to the Weimar archive, which he used for his dissertation “juris publici scientiae exotericae” , in which he presents the most important questions of constitutional law of the 16th century and which is still one of the most valued dissertations today. In 1636 Johann Strauch moved back to Jena, where the brothers, the theologian Johann Benedict Carpzow and the lawyer Benedict Carpzow welcomed him in a friendly manner.

In 1638 he acquired a master's degree in philosophy at the University of Leipzig, in the same year became an adjunct of the philosophical faculty, in 1648 professor of Latin and in 1652 professor of history. On the advice of Benedict Carpzow, he published his overview of Roman private law, which he had collected for private lectures, under the title “Dissertatio undetriginta theoretico-practicae ad universum jus Justinianeum” in 1647. It received widespread, general attention. The second edition followed in 1659, the third edition in 1666 with comments by Professor Johann Jacok Avianus, and finally in 1718 the fourth edition provided by Ephraim Gerhard . In 1651 he earned his doctorate in jurisprudence at the University of Jena with the treatise "de accessionum quibusdam maxime controversis speciebus" and the next year he became a full professor of law and faculty member at the Salana. He was elected dean of his faculty three times and was rector of the alma mater in the summer semester of 1658 . However, he followed the developments at the university on " Pennalism " in Jena as a result of the Thirty Years' War critically. In 1660 he left Jena disappointed to take up the position of a lawyer in Braunschweig .

However, he did not succeed in gaining a foothold in Braunschweig. His courtly, smooth demeanor, a Leipzig habit, was interpreted as falsehood and met with suspicion. In addition, his second wife moved to Jena repeatedly, which almost resulted in his marriage failing. He did not hesitate long to return to Jena when in 1668 he was offered the title of court counselor and the professorship of the codex , novellas and constitutional law , an adjunct at the court court and chair of the faculty and the Schöppenstuhl .

The Duke Ferdinand Albrecht von Braunschweig appointed him court counselor, but this did not prevent him from doing his job. In Jena, Duke Bernhard von Sachsen-Meiningen appointed Johann Strauch Chancellor and President of the ecclesiastical court as well as privy councilor at the court in Jena. Having acquired offices and honors, Johann Strauch tried to exercise it with caution alongside the professorship, but his frank speech brought him into disrepute. Two circumstances made his position in Jena untenable. On the one hand, he resented it when he was passed over when filling a position of the full professor that had become vacant through his death and withdrew deeply hurt. He also approved an extramarital affair involving Duke Bernhard von Sachsen-Meiningen , but was soon left alone with his point of view when the Duke's inclination turned into the opposite.

In the autumn of 1676 he followed a call and settled in Giessen as Pro Chancellor and Professor of Law , where one of his students was Johann Georg Kulpis , who later published one of his works. In Giessen alone he had only two years left. Johann Strauch died on December 2, 1679 at the age of 65. Strauch was married twice. On September 16, 1645, he married Elisabeth († August 30, 1654) in Leipzig, the daughter of the professor of the Pandects Wilhelm Schmuck . His second marriage was on September 3, 1655 with Clara, the daughter of Erasmus Ungebaur . Two sons and two daughters result from the marriages.
