from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Polenske (born April 16, 1881 in Brooklyn , New York City , † January 4, 1949 in rails ) was a German lawyer and professor at the University of Greifswald .

Life

Polenske studied law , economics and philosophy at the universities in Marburg , Munich and Berlin . In 1904 he received his doctorate at the University of Berlin on the subject of Fideikommisserbrecht . In 1904/05 he served as a one-year volunteer in the Prussian army. From 1909 he worked as a court assessor in the district court of Berlin-Lichtenberg. In 1910 Polenske defended his habilitation in Roman law and civil law at the university in Halle an der Saale . In 1911 he received his first teaching position for trade law at the Polytechnic in Köthen . Polenske completed his habilitation again in 1914 at the University of Greifswald in civil law and securities law . In 1915 he did a brief military service and then worked in the same year as a non-civil servant professor (private lecturer) at the University of Greifswald there.

During the Munich Soviet Republic (1919) Polenske worked with Silvio Gesell , the “People's Commissioner for Finance”, and with the Swiss doctor and mathematician Theophil Christen in Munich . After the military crackdown on the socialist republic, they were all arrested together and charged with high treason. A court martial , however, acquitted the three after several months of pre-trial detention. His participation in the Munich Soviet Republic, however, led to protests in the Greifswald student body against Polenske. Thereupon he renounced his license to teach in September 1919.

Polenske was a member of the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany ( USPD ) and later a member of the NSDAP .
