Ulrich Stutz
Ulrich Stutz (born May 5, 1868 in Zurich ; † July 6, 1938 in Berlin ) was a German legal historian and canon lawyer .
Life
Ulrich Stutz is one of the most important historians of canon law of the 20th century. In 1896 he became professor for law and canon law in Freiburg , where Nikolaus Hilling was his important successor. From 1904 to 1917 he also taught at the University of Bonn , built the Canon Law Institute at the Faculty of Law and Political Science and laid the foundations for the development of historical canonical studies. From 1917 he taught German law and canon law as a full professor at the Berlin University . He headed the Institute for Canon Law; from him comes the characterization of the still valid state church law from the Weimar Imperial Constitution as "limping separation ". Furthermore, he is the originator of the term Eigenkirche ; Stutz contributed significantly to the understanding of the early medieval interweaving of Frankish-secular and Western Roman-ecclesiastical power. His students include Johannes Heckel , Adalbert Erler and Dettmar Philippi as well as the canon law historian Franz Gescher (1884–1945), whose dissertation from 1919 Stutz published as the 95th volume in his series of canon law treatises .
Despite his Swiss origins, Stutz exposed himself politically as a “rabid German nationalist” ( Gustav Mayer ). Even after the collapse of the Empire, he remained a staunch monarchist and expressed this conviction every year on January 27th (the birthday of Wilhelm II) in his lecture with a homage to the emperor living in exile.
His grave is in the south-west cemetery Stahnsdorf .
