from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Ferdinand Karl Otto Gieseke (born May 5, 1888 in Magdeburg , † October 31, 1967 in Bad Godesberg ) was a German lawyer and university professor .

Life

Paul Gieseke was the son of the privy councilor, lawyer and notary Ludwig Gieseke (1853-1920) and Anna Thies (1864-1931). In December 1922 he married Margret Girardet (1901–1969), the daughter of the publisher Wilhelm Girardet (Junior), in Essen . Five children were born from this connection.

After graduating from high school in Magdeburg, Gieseke began studying law in 1906 at the universities in Tübingen , Halle and Leipzig , which he completed in 1909 with the first state examination in law. During his studies he became a member of the Igel Tübingen academic association . He then completed his clerkship, received his doctorate in 1910 at the University of Leipzig for Doctor of Laws (Dissertation: The public faith of the land register in accordance with § 892 BGB in its effect property rights against ) and passed in 1914, the second state examination. He then joined the judicial service as a court assessor. From 1917 to 1919 he worked as a consultant in the Reich Ministry of Economics .

Gieseke studied economics at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg from 1919 to 1920 and was a faculty assistant at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn from 1920 to 1922 , where he received his habilitation in 1921 (habilitation thesis: The legal relationships of the public economic organization ). In 1921 he worked temporarily as a private lecturer in Göttingen . A year later he received a chair as a full professor for German and civil law and for commercial law at the University of Rostock , which he briefly headed in 1929 as rector. He then moved as a full professor at the Berlin School of Management and served as its rector from 1933 to 1934. In April 1934 he followed the call of the Philipps University of Marburg , where he subsequently taught as a full professor for commercial and labor law. He also headed Philipps University as rector from October 1938 to September 1939, after having been temporarily entrusted with the management of the rector's business as early as 1936/37. From 1939 to 1945 he was professor for commercial law and civil law at the Berlin University . From 1937 he headed the committee for water law at the Academy for German Law.

After the Second World War , Giesekes' teaching activity was suspended before he became a visiting professor for business law at the University of Bonn in 1948. Two years later he became a full professor at Saarland University . In 1952 he was given a chair at Bonn University, which he held until his retirement in 1955. From 1952 to 1964 he headed the Institute for Water Law at the university.

Political activities

Gieseke was a member of the DVP from 1926 to 1929 and a DVP member in the state parliament of the Free State of Mecklenburg-Schwerin from 1926 to 1929 . After the National Socialists came to power, he was a sponsoring member of the SS from 1934 to 1936 and a member of the National Socialist Lawyers' Association since 1934. On May 1, 1937, he joined the NSDAP . Around 1932 he rode in Düppel near Zehlendorf in a group of the Frontkampfbundes ( NS Frontkampfbundes ) and was perhaps wrongly put on a membership list. However, he was never a soldier and therefore never a frontline fighter.
