Works

Together with Franz Ferdinand Grimm (1806–1895), who later became Vice President of the Prussian High Tribunal , he wrote a commentary on the “Code de Commerce” of the Prussian Rhine provinces as early as 1835 . The comments you made on the law of stock corporations went beyond what was previously formulated in commercial law .

In 1848, together with Johann Heinrich Thöl , then a full professor at the University of Rostock , and Christian Widenmann , Undersecretary of State in the Reich Ministry of Justice , both were members of a commission formed and led by Widenmann, which a year later (1849) presented the draft of a general commercial code for Germany .
