Paul Hinschius studied in Berlin and Heidelberg and completed his habilitation .

Appointed associate professor in Halle in 1863, he returned to Berlin in the same capacity in 1865, but followed a call as full professor at Kiel University in 1868, which he represented in the Prussian mansion from 1871 to 1872 .

At the provincial synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Province of Schleswig-Holstein in Rendsburg (1871) he was an elected member of one of the leaders of the church-free party. In 1872 he went back to Berlin as a full professor of canon law, where he has since given lectures on canon law, Prussian civil law and civil litigation. Here he took part in the conferences of the Prussian Ministry of Culture to prepare church laws. Elected to the German Reichstag in the same year , he adhered to the national liberal faction.

On a major scientific journey through Italy, Spain, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Holland and Belgium in 1860 and 1861, he collected the material for his critical edition of the pseudoisidoric decretals (Leipzig 1863). His most comprehensive work is the canon law of Catholics and Protestants in Germany , published in six volumes .

  • The Evangelical Church in Prussia and the incorporation of the new provinces . Berlin 1867

With his father Franz Hinschius, counselor and lawyer in Berlin (* March 28, 1810; † December 3, 1877), he published the Prussian lawyer newspaper from 1862 to 1866 and, as a continuation, the journal for legislation and justice in Prussia from 1867 to 1871 , which the latter was continued by Jakob Friedrich Behrend .

He also edited canon law in Franz von Holtzendorff's Encyclopedia of Jurisprudence and also provided many articles for its legal dictionary.

In Heinrich Marquardsen's Handbook of Contemporary Public Law , he wrote the monograph State and Church (Freiburg i. Br. 1883).
