Reiner Schmidt (born November 13, 1936 in Hof ) is a German legal scholar .
Live and act
Reiner Schmidt graduated from high school in 1954 at the humanistic Jean-Paul-Gymnasium Hof . He then studied business administration and law at the universities of Munich , Hamburg and Würzburg . He passed the legal state exams in 1958 and 1963 in Würzburg. In 1963 he received his doctorate with a dissertation on the "binding of the legislature to the principle of equality in the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court ". The work, which was rated “summa cum laude”, was awarded the Faculty Prize. Before taking up academic work as an assistant at the University of Würzburg, after spending six months in London, he worked in the private banking industry and as a lawyer in Munich. In 1971 he received his habilitation from the Swiss constitutional law teacher Wilfried Schaumann (1923–1971), to whom the University of Würzburg owes its statutes at the time, in Würzburg with the writing of economic policy and constitution for the subjects of constitutional , administrative and commercial law.
From 1972 until his retirement in 2005 he taught as a full professor at the University of Augsburg , where he was responsible for the one-stage legal training as model representative of the Free State of Bavaria and where he founded the Institute for Environmental Law in 1991. On his initiative, a cooperation with the Faculty of Law at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow came about, from which the Krakow-Augsburg Law Studies (so far six volumes) arose.
Before the Association of German Constitutional Law Teachers , Schmidt reported at the 1977 conference in Basel on the subject of “The Constitutional State in the Web of International Relations”. In Volume IV of the History of Public Law in Germany by Michael Stolleis , published in 2012, it is noted: "Rereading this paper from 1977 ... shows what prognostic power can be inherent in individual texts ..." (p. 479).
At the 63rd German Jurists Day in Leipzig in 2000, Schmidt gave a lecture on the extent to which the pursuit of economic, ecological and other public purposes through instruments of tax law is recommended.
His main work is the work published in 1990 by Springer Heidelberg “Public Commercial Law. General part". In two further volumes edited by him, special topics of public commercial law are dealt with, such as: B. Subsidy law, banking law, the media and international business law. His textbook Environmental Law, co-authored with Wolfgang Kahl since 2008, was published by CH Beck in Munich in the 8th edition.
He turned down a call to the University of Trier . In 1999 he was visiting professor at the University of Krakow. His research focuses on public commercial law and environmental law. The Bavarian State Ministry of Justice honored him for “outstanding services” as examiner for the First State Examination in Law. In 2006 he founded the "Hohbühl" foundation to promote science and research in the field of public law. Those sponsored by the foundation are now professors at the universities of Augsburg, Göttingen, Konstanz and Osnabrück.
The constitutional lawyers Hartmut Bauer ( University of Potsdam ), Detlef Czybulka ( University of Rostock ), Wolfgang Kahl ( University of Heidelberg ) and Andreas Voßkuhle ( University of Freiburg im Breisgau ) completed their habilitation under Schmidt .
Schmidt is born with Maria Schmidt. Countess zu Castell-Castell (* 1941), the eldest daughter of Georg Graf zu Castell-Castell (1904–1956) and his wife Gudrun geb. von Eichel called Streiber (1919–1997), married and father of three children. He is the brother of the banker Karl Gerhard Schmidt , the former managing director of Schmidtbank and a member of scientific associations (e.g. Association of German Constitutional Law Teachers; SIPE Societas Iuris Publici Europaei), associations (e.g. Rotary International ) and foundations (e.g. . JUSTA). He has been a member of the Corps Franconia Munich since 1956 . In 2012, the German Alpine Association awarded him the “Silver Edelweiss”.
