Kaspar Altenaich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaspar Altenaich (* around 1527 in Cologne ; † October 1, 1605 in Bremen ), alternatively Gasparus Alteneich or Jasper Altenaich , was a German legal scholar.

Life

Kaspar Altenaich had completed his four-year basic training in the seven liberal arts at the Herford College founded by Hermann Dwerg . On May 20, 1546 he enrolled at the University of Cologne , where he acquired the academic degree of a bachelor's degree on June 4, 1546 . On June 2, 1547, he was recorded at the Cologne College of Dwerg. Although he appeared as the present tense for licentiate on February 3, 1548 , he has apparently acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy. As such, the Magister expelled from Cologne enrolled at the University of Wittenberg on August 8, 1554 . After he had already given lectures on the institutes for Johann Schneidewein at the law faculty in 1567 , he was appointed to the senate of the philosophical faculty in the winter semester of 1568 and received the professorship of the institutes in 1569 .

He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Wittenberg University. In the winter semester of 1574 he was dean of the philosophical faculty and in the summer semester of 1577 rector of the alma mater . Since he refused in 1581 to put his signature on the concord formula , Altenaich was dismissed from the Wittenberg university service. He looked for a new field of activity and finally found it in Bremen in 1584. Here he took up his professorship in law at the Reformed Gymnasium there on October 14, 1584 with the speech De Iure et Legibus ( Of Rights and Laws ). Here he worked for more than twenty years and advised the Bremen city council on legal matters until he finally died.
