Life

Paul Viereck apparently came from an old Güstrow family of lawyers who had repeatedly occupied council positions since the 18th century at the latest.

His parents' house in Güstrow [Schlossplatz 4] is one of the imposing town houses in the city. During the 1867 census in Mecklenburg-Schwerin , he was attending elementary school in his hometown. At that time he lived with two younger sisters in their parents' house in Güstrow.

In 1888 he passed the second legal examination before the examination panel of the Rostock Higher Regional Court with distinction. In the same year 1888 Viereck officiated from May to October as mayor of Neustadt (Mecklenburg) . In 1893 he was appointed magistrate. The following year he was promoted to the district judge. At the time of the census on December 1, 1900, Paul Viereck, now married and the father of at least two children, was still living in Güstrow [Mühlenstrasse 1] or was already living again.

On the New Year of 1909, Paul Viereck received an appeal to the higher regional court in Rostock as a judge of the higher regional court . In 1912 he became a councilor at the Imperial Court. He was a member of the First Civil Senate of the Reich Court until his death in 1915.
