Richard Förtsch

Karl Wilhelm Richard Förtsch (born October 23, 1837 in Naumburg (Saale) , † October 23, 1916 ) was a Senate President at the Imperial Court .

Life

In 1863 he joined the Prussian judicial service as a court assessor. In 1867 Förtsch was a district judge. Until 1871 he participated in the war twice. After the annexation in 1871, Förtsch worked in Alsace-Lorraine as a district judge in Zabern. In 1887 he became president of the regional court in Metz. He then rose from the regional court director (1879) to the higher regional court councilor in Colmar (1881) to the ministerial councilor in the Ministry for Alsace-Lorraine (1889). In 1890 he came to the Imperial Court as Alsace-Lorraine. For eight years, Förtsch was a member of the 2nd civil senate as a Reich judge , which was responsible for the areas on the left bank of the Rhine . His comparative representation of the Civil Code (which was valid until 1900 in the areas on the left bank of the Rhine) with the BGB is a fruit of this work. In 1902 Förtsch became President of the Senate of the 2nd Civil Senate at the suggestion of the Reich Justice Office . In 1910 he retired.
