Life

The son of the Protestant church historian Karl von Hase, ennobled in 1883, and brother of the theologian Karl Alfred von Hase , was baptized on November 23rd. Supported by the initial training of a private teacher, he attended elementary school in Jena. On June 3, 1849 he became a student at the grammar school in Eisenach and began studying law at the University of Jena at Easter 1853 . Here he became a member of the fraternity , but soon resigned and moved to the University of Leipzig at Easter 1854 , where he became a student of Karl Georg von Wächter . During a stay with his uncle in Oschatz, Franz Gustav Hase (born March 25, 1802 in Niedersteinbach; † July 19, 1885 in Oschatz), he had expressed the opposite opinion to a clergyman and had to answer for it in Leipzig with a six-day prison sentence.

In autumn his father allowed him to transfer to Heidelberg University . In Heidelberg he came into contact with a student who had shot another in a duel . He later traveled through the University of Strasbourg and was enlisted in the Foreign Legion . To do this, however, he needed identification papers. Victor lost his student card "by accident". After the duelist threw the card away after crossing the borders, it was found and sent back to Heidelberg. During the investigation, the young lawyer said "My name is Hase, I answer the general questions in the negative, I don't know anything". This statement, which at that time quickly became known in Heidelberg and soon made the rounds of other German and Dutch universities, has become the saying “My name is rabbit, I don't know anything”. In June 1857, he was before the Court of Appeal in Eisenach his first state exam and received his doctorate on 27 July 1857 in Jena Doctor of Laws .
