Karl Neumeyer
Karl Neumeyer (born September 19, 1869 in Munich ; † July 17, 1941 there ) was a German legal scholar .
Life
Karl Neumeyer was the younger brother of the judge and chairman of the Association of Bavarian and Israelite Congregations Alfred Neumeyer . He attended the Maximiliansgymnasium and then studied law in Munich, Berlin and Geneva . In 1900 he married Anna Hirschhorn, with whom he had two children: Alfred (1901–1973) and Fritz (* 1905).
In 1901 he completed his habilitation at the University of Munich and in 1908 became an associate professor. Among other things, he dealt with international private law and established the field of international administrative law . In 1913 he turned down an offer at the University of Zurich . In 1926 he received the title of full professor, and in 1929 also on a budget. In 1931 he became dean of the faculty.
After the transfer of power to the National Socialists in 1933, Neumeyer's work became increasingly difficult due to his Jewish origins. In 1934 he was forced into retirement and was banned from teaching and publishing. In 1941 he and his wife committed suicide in view of the imminent deportation and murder. He is buried in the New Israelite Cemetery in Munich.
Appreciations
Several sites in Munich remember Karl Neumeyer: A plaque commemorates him and his wife on Koeniginstrasse 35a in Maxvorstadt. In 1962 Neumeyerstraße in Allach-Untermenzing was named after him. In 2008 the building of the Law Faculty of the University of Munich at Veterinärstraße 5 was named Karl-Neumeyer-Haus. A Neumeyer Hall and a memorial plaque had been in the building since 1970.
