from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Samuel Funk (born April 17, 1835 in Lübeck ; † April 7, 1922 there ) was a German lawyer and home historian.

Life

Martin Funk was the son of pastor Johann Funk at the Marienkirche in Lübeck and his wife Henriette, née. Elsner (1805–1890), a daughter of Samuel Elsner . From 1840 he attended the candidate school and from 1846 until graduation at Easter 1854 the Katharineum in Lübeck . He then began his law studies at the University of Leipzig , moved to Berlin in 1855 and completed his studies with a doctorate to become a Dr. both rights at the University of Göttingen in 1857. In 1858 he passed the state examination in law in Lübeck. After a brief activity as a lawyer in Lübeck, he became a lower court actuary with the reorganization of the Lübeck judiciary in 1864 , after the Reich Justice Acts came into force in 1879, he was secretary at the Lübeck district court and in 1882 as a judge at the Lübeck district court , where he worked as senior magistrate from 1896 until his retirement in 1911.

Funk was involved in a variety of ways in the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities and its subsidiaries, be it as head of the Lübecker Turn-Anstalt or in the editorial committee of the Lübeckische Blätter , to name just two of his numerous voluntary activities.

Even during his studies, he had not only listened to law, but also lectures in history and economics. He was drawn to theology and theologians because of his parents' previous burdens, and during his time in Berlin he looked after his maternal grandfather, the co-founder and secretary of the main association for Christian edification in the Prussian states, Samuel Elsner (1778-1856). With this background he developed a writing activity as a canon lawyer and biographer as a judge in Lübeck. In addition to his publications, he left behind numerous unpublished manuscripts that are in the Funk family's estate in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .

Martin Funk was a member of Lübeck's citizenship from 1867 to 1875 and from 1881 to 1887. As the parish council of the Marienkirche, he developed his own ideas about church reform in Lübeck, which were then implemented in the Lübeck regional church in 1895 , including the introduction of the synod .

Library

In his house at Fleischhauerstraße 53, Funk had an important private library of 2,500 volumes, some of which came from his father, half of which was writings on the city of Lübeck and its history, and the other half of works from various sciences. In 1903 the Lübeck city library received 300 volumes from it .
