biography

Pözl was born in Pechtnersreuth , an Upper Palatinate village not far from Waldsassen, as the son of "simple, but not poor" country people.

After graduating from high school in Amberg in 1835, he began studying political science at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. He received his doctorate on November 10, 1842 with the thesis "Is the patron as such subject to construction?" In 1843 his habilitation thesis at the University of Würzburg with the title “De privilegiis fisci bavarici” followed.

In July 1845 he became an associate professor and two years later a full professor in Munich , where he held the chair for general and Bavarian constitutional law , for Bavarian administrative law and police science. From 1859 he was editor of the critical quarterly for legislation and jurisprudence . After setting up the technical university (Politechnikum) in Munich, he also held lectures there on Bavarian constitutional and administrative law, until in 1878 he was forced to resign from this position due to illness.

In mid-December 1880 Pözl fell ill and his strength deteriorated. He died in the late evening of January 9, 1881. He was buried on the afternoon of January 12, 1881 in the northern cemetery in Munich.

Political activities

In 1848, Pözl was elected to the Frankfurt National Assembly by two Bavarian districts . He joined the Württemberger Hof , the main faction of the left center. In September 1848 the right wing of the Württemberger Hof split off and founded the so-called Augsburger Hof , of which Pözl became a member. In May 1849 he went back to his homeland disappointed. During this time his wife fell mentally deranged, so that the marriage remained childless. In 1858 he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies and represented the state capital Munich . In 1863 he was elected 2nd Chamber President and two years later the first Chamber President. In the elections in 1869 he lost his position for the middle party to the strengthened Ultramontanes . Three years later (1872) the Bavarian crown appointed him to the Chamber of Imperial Councils as their lifelong member.
