Life

Henrici was born as the son of the personal physician of Friedrich Christian II (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg) . He received private tuition from the court preacher in Augustenburg Castle and studied law in Kiel and Berlin from 1834. After passing the legal examination in 1838 at Gottorf Castle , he began his career in the Danish civil service as an auscultant at the Holstein Higher Court in Glückstadt in order to avoid a traineeship in the Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburg law firm in Copenhagen .

In the Schleswig-Holstein survey he was appointed police master in Aabenraa by the provisional government . Since he had proved himself there, followed by the on January 12, 1849 designated transportation and executed on February 23 by the Prussian-Danish government to Drosselmeier in Gluckstadt. After the peace in 1850 he stayed in the country and continued to act as a judge in Glückstadt.

When Holstein was occupied in the German-Danish War in December 1863, he became president of the Holstein state government established by the federal commissioners in January 1864 . The compromise in the London Protocol of 1852 only postponed the conflict over the duchies. Due to the different Salian succession in the duchies, Friedrich von Augustenburg had inheritance claims after the death of the Danish king in 1863 . Henrici publicly advocated his inheritance claims to get away from Denmark, but was of the opinion that Schleswig-Holstein should become a Prussian province. Since a Prussian-Austrian condominium was established with the Peace of Vienna (1864) and the inheritance claims were meanwhile hopeless and at the end of 1864 Wilhelm Benedict von Schirach, the previous director of the Holstein dicasteries , resigned, he took the opportunity to become director of the To become upper dicasteries. The upper dicasteries in Glückstadt comprised the upper court, upper consistory and state higher consistory, regional court (for nobles).

With the dissolution of the upper dicasteries in 1867, he went as a council to the higher appeal court in Berlin, which was created for the countries annexed in 1866. There, on the advice of court president Adolph Leonhardt , he successfully asserted his Holstein-born rank as first councilor, in contrast to the offer from Justice Minister Graf zur Lippe as councilor in eighth position. This was resented by his colleagues, although the council office for Henrici was a salary cut. When Leonhardt was appointed Minister of Justice a few months later, he became Chairman of the First Senate. Joining the “ Lawless Society of Berlin ” in 1869 shows the rapid connection to Berlin society . When the second president of the Higher Appeal Court August Heinrich Oberg (1809-1872) died, Henrici became vice-president of the Higher Appeal Court in 1872. In the same year he was appointed to the Prussian mansion for life . When the Higher Appeal Court was dissolved in the Prussian Upper Tribunal in 1874 , he was reappointed Vice President. 1879 came as Senate President to III. Civil Senate of the Imperial Court .

Due to his move to Leipzig, his membership in the Prussian mansion was suspended in the following years. Only after he retired in 1891 and relocated back to Berlin did he regain the right to vote in the manor on January 14, 1892.

Paul Christian Henrici died in Berlin in 1899 at the age of 83. He was buried in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery in Charlottenburg - Westend . The grave has not been preserved.
