Konrad Carpzov
Konrad Carpzov (born July 11, 1593 in Wittenberg ; † February 12, 1658 in Halle (Saale) ) was a German legal scholar and statesman.
Life
Konrad Carpzov was the eldest son of Benedikt Carpzov the Elder . He was referring to attending school in Colditz the University of Wittenberg . His father, who had already enrolled him and his brother in the register of the Wittenberg University in 1602, thus ensured that they could study in Wittenberg free of charge.
Together with his brother Benedikt Carpzov the Younger , he attended the University of Leipzig for a year in 1615 , then went to the University of Jena and returned to Wittenberg in 1618, where he and his younger brother obtained a doctorate in law on February 16, 1619. In the same year he was appointed court advisor to Duke Franz von Pomerania .
When Duke Franz died, he returned to Wittenberg in 1621 to take on an institutional professorship. This meant that Carpzov was initially able to fill the lowest full professorship at the Wittenberg Faculty of Law. Together with his colleague Jeremias Reusner , he tried to carry out the lectures using a systematic method. However, they had to refrain from doing so again on the instructions of Elector Johann Georg I of Saxony .
Since the elector was dissatisfied with the older professors in the law faculty, Carpzov moved to the second professorship after the death of Lucas Beckmann and took over the lectures of the code. He also took on the position of assessor at the Wittenberg court, was a member of the university consortium and the Dresden court of appeal.
In 1636 he traveled to the Electoral Congress in Regensburg as an emissary from the Electorate of Saxony and was thus in the election of Ferdinand III. present to the Roman king. His political activity intensified when in 1638 he was appointed chancellor and privy councilor to the second son of Johann Georg I, the administrator of August of Magdeburg , and went to Halle (Saale) to his seat of government. Here he died as archbishop's primate in 1658.
