Live and act

The son of factory foreman Werner Schollen and Therese Verbeck originally aspired to become an elementary school teacher, but first completed his compulsory military service in Infantry Regiment No. 28 and took part in the German-Austrian War in 1866 . He then decided to pursue a career as a judicial officer and began his training as a trainee lawyer at the royal district court in Aachen . After his examination as a clerk in 1873, he was accepted at the Justice of the Peace in Jüchen , but returned to the Aachen Regional Court in 1876. There he was appointed secretary to the public prosecutor's office in 1878 and promoted to the chancellery in 1903. On October 1, 1909, Schollen retired as an accountant.

During his service, he published several specialist books on police administration and criminal justice, on police ordinances and on auxiliary officers of the public prosecutor's office. In addition, he was active in the Aachen History Association in a variety of ways and dealt with the maintenance of the Aachen dialect . In addition, he published two anthologies on Aachen proverbs and idioms and on folk things from Aachen with songs, poems and plays.

Schollen was married to Gertrud Lehmkühler (1842–1913), with whom he had a daughter and son Franz Schollen , who later became President of the Higher Regional Court in Düsseldorf and the founder and chairman of the Rhenish Association for Monument Preservation and Landscape Protection.
