Rudolf Schránil

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Schránil (born January 21, 1885 in Nixdorf , Schluckenau district , Northern Bohemia; † July 22, 1957 in Brühl (Rhineland) ) was an Austro-German legal scholar. More than almost anyone else, he was keen on a relaxed balance in the delicate Czech-German relationship.

Life

Schránil came from a Catholic family in the Kingdom of Bohemia . The father was an imperial customs inspector. Schránil passed the Abitur examination in Prague in 1903. He was then enrolled in the Faculty of Law and Political Science at the Karl Ferdinand University in Prague until 1907 . From 1907 to 1911 he studied philosophy, geography and history. To the Dr. jur. he received his doctorate in 1909.

From 1908 to 1911 he was an employee of the Financial Directorate in Prague, from 1911 to 1913 he was on leave to study at the law faculty of the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin . From 1913 to 1917 he was an employee of the State Finance Directorate in Prague and from 1917 to 1921 Finance Councilor in the Vienna Ministry of Finance. From 1918 he taught public law as a private lecturer at the University of Vienna . In 1921 he was appointed to the Charles University in Prague to a professorship in administrative law and financial law. In 1927 he was appointed full professor there. During the National Socialist era , he campaigned for expelled Jewish professors. In 1937/38 he was rector of the University of Prague. In the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia he was therefore only employed on a fee basis from 1939. In 1941 the Ministry of Science assigned him to the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg . Here he taught public law until 1947. He was released because he had spoken out publicly against a new regulation in Section 218 of the Criminal Code . Schránil first went to Hamburg, in 1948 he switched to the Saar Institute for Advanced Studies in Homburg . From 1948 to 1952, he taught public law as a full professor at the newly founded Saarland University .
