Life
Julius Anton Glaser, an excellent criminalist, son of Jewish parents, later converted to Christianity.
After completing his high school studies in Leitmeritz and at the Vienna Schottengymnasium , Glaser studied at the University of Zurich , where he received his doctorate in philosophy in 1849 . Not yet 20 years old, he made himself known as a criminalist writer through his monograph The English-Scottish Criminal Procedure (Vienna 1850) and , after obtaining his doctorate in law, completed his habilitation in Vienna in 1854 as a private lecturer in Austrian criminal law, whereupon he became associate professor in 1856 and full professor in 1860 has been.
An avid member of the German Lawyers' Association , he was also active in reforming Austrian criminal law, namely in bringing about the new code of criminal procedure . On November 25, 1871, he joined the cabinet of Adolf Fürst von Auersperg as Minister of Justice , to which he belonged until 1879. As a representative of the inner city of Vienna in the House of Representatives, he was one of the most gifted supporters of the Left Party. Since 1879 general procurator at the highest court of justice, he died on December 26, 1885 in Vienna.
After Glaser's death, the widow, Wilhelmine Glaser geb. Löwenthal (born April 18, 1836 in Vienna, † April 13, 1918 in Edlach ), and the children Eleonore (1869–1942), Henrica (1869–1942) and Ludwig (1875–1915), the hereditary baron conferred on the Glaser, as a bearer of the Grand Cross of the Austrian Imperial Leopold Order and Knight of the Order of the Iron Crown, 1st class, was entitled according to the statutes.
In the arcade courtyard of the University of Vienna - the university's hall of fame - there has been a bust of Glaser since 1888, created by Kaspar Clemens and Eduard Zumbusch . As part of “purges” by the National Socialists in early November 1938, ten sculptures by Jewish or supposedly Jewish professors in the arcade courtyard were overturned or smeared with paint in connection with the “ Langemarck Celebration ”. At this point in time, the acting rector Fritz Knoll had the Arkadenhof sculptures checked; on his instructions, fifteen monuments were removed and placed in a depot, including that of Julius Glaser. After the end of the war, all damaged and removed monuments were put back in the arcade courtyard in 1947.
Glaser was buried in an honorary grave in the Vienna Central Cemetery (Group 31 A, Row 1, No. 13). In 1888 in was Vienna-Alsergrund (Vienna's 9th district ) the Glasergasse named after him.
