Johann Caspar Unrath

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Caspar Unrath (born September 15, 1608 in Oberschönau , † June 4, 1650 in Jena ) was a German legal scholar.

Life

Johann Caspar was the son of the later Coburg finance manager Georg Unrath and his wife Ursula Gölner. Apparently he had enjoyed his school education in Coburg. In the summer semester of 1625 it was deposited at the University of Jena , where he began to study law in the winter semester of 1628. On June 17, 1631 he enrolled at the University of Altdorf , where he completed further studies. In the meantime he was back in Jena, where he defended a legal treatise under Erasmus Ungebaur in 1636 . In 1637 he acquired his licentiate and doctorate in law in Altdorf.

He then worked as a lawyer in Coburg , where he was promoted to the Schöppenstuhl in 1642. On June 1, 1646 he became professor of law in Jena and on September 19 of the same year Unrath was given a position as assessor at the court there. As a teacher at the Salana, he also participated in the university's organizational tasks. He was dean of the law faculty several times and, in the summer semester of 1648, rector of the alma mater . However, his period of activity did not last long, as he died at the age of forty-one. His body was buried on June 7, 1650 in the Jena collegiate church. The tombstone was uncovered and placed in the nave of the church in 1937. In February 1945 it was destroyed in a bomb attack.

Unrath married Sabina (* Tübingen) in 1637, the widow of Dr. jur. Christian Scherer. No children are known from their marriage. She moved back to Franckenland after his death.
