Philipp Jacob von Gülich (born March 18, 1777 in Wetzlar ; † November 30, 1843 in Rostock ) was a German lawyer.

Life

Philipp Jacob von Gülich came from a family of lawyers who, as a dynasty of procurators, had been associated with the Imperial Court of Justice for generations . His father Johann Philipp Gottfried von Gülich (1729–1801) was procurator at the Imperial Court of Justice in Wetzlar. In 1799 he was raised to imperial nobility for himself and his descendants .

From the age of seven, Philipp Jacob von Gülich attended the Hohe Karlsschule in Stuttgart , which he graduated in 1794. He studied law at the Universities of Marburg and Göttingen and received his doctorate in 1798 at the University of Bamberg as a licentiate in law.

In the same year he was admitted to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar and in 1801 as Procurator at the Reich Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, Duke Friedrich Franz I of Mecklenburg-Schwerin appointed him his agent at the Imperial Court of Justice; In 1806 he awarded him the title of Privy Councilor .

The later president of the first chamber of the Duchy of Nassau , Baron Hans Carl von Zwierlein , became his brother-in-law in 1801, still as procurator at the Imperial Court of Justice . His son Hans Constantin von Zwierlein , born in 1802 and president of the first chamber of the Duchy of Nassau from 1857 to 1858, was Philipp Jacob von Gülich's nephew.

After the Reich Chamber Court was dissolved in 1806, Gülich was taken over as judicial advisor to the Herzoglich Mecklenburgische Justizkanzlei in Schwerin . The suspicion that he had sought his job at the expense of the Mecklenburg share of the chamber target , which after the court was dissolved, only served to cover the pension payments for the judges, led to an intensive and public dispute, especially with Karl Albert von from Mecklenburg Kamptz . In its course, Franz Joseph von Stein zu Lausnitz denigrated him as the tall Gülich, whose function was to go for a walk on the Stoppelberg . The journalistic controversy turned into a conflict of honor, but did not affect Gülichs' career in Mecklenburg, as the former judges were no longer able to take action against him as a corporation.

In 1818 Gülich was appointed vice director and in 1820 director of the law firm in Rostock , which he remained until the end of his life. In 1830 he was also appointed director and legal member of the Medical Commission in Rostock. In 1823 he was accepted into the Mecklenburg knighthood.

For the 300th anniversary of the Confessio Augustana , the University of Rostock awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1830 .

Since 1816 he was married to a born von Flotow . The couple had four children.
