Life

Viktor von Meibom was the son of Heinrich von Meibom (1784–1874) and his wife Susette, geb. Ries (1786-1862). He first attended the Lyceum Fridericianum , which after 1835 had been renamed the Kurfürstliches Gymnasium zu Cassel . Here Viktor von Meibom passed his Abitur in 1839. From Easter 1839 he studied law at the Philipps University in Marburg . There he heard criminal and civil law with Adolph von Vangerow and the canon lawyer Ämilius Ludwig Richter . In Marburg he joined the newly founded Corps Hasso-Nassovia in the winter semester of 1839/40 with his cousin Otto von Gehren . In the following semester he became a fox major .

In the summer semester of 1840 he moved to the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin . There he heard Friedrich Carl von Savigny , Carl Gustav Homeyer and August Wilhelm Heffter . Meibom returned to Marburg in the summer semester of 1841 and studied here for exam preparation by Ludwig Friedrich Wilhelm Duncker (civil procedural law) and Sigismund Löbell (criminal procedural law ). With Georg Wilhelm Wetzell he heard Roman law , digest exegesis (see also Pandects and Pandect Science ). At Endemann he heard about civil procedure law . In Kurhessen you had to pass two exams, one university and one state, which Viktor von Meibom took in the second half of 1842.

After completing his studies, von Meibom joined the Hessian judicial service in January 1843 and became a trainee lawyer at the higher court in Kassel . In 1847 he passed his assessor exam with a summa cum laude . At the beginning of February he was assigned as legation secretary to his uncle Franz Hugo Rieß von Scheurnschloß , who was the Kurhessischer Bundestag envoy in Frankfurt, and in the following March he was assigned to his successor Sylvester Jordan .

He experienced the “great year 1848” in Frankfurt. He attended all the sessions of the National Assembly , and socialized with the deputies of the Left and Right Center on the Mainlust and had access to their exclusive meetings.

At his own request he was transferred to the newly created Rotenburg High Court on February 1, 1849 . In March 1850, he declined to take a career move to the Foreign Ministry in the new reactionary cabinet of Hassenpflug because of his national liberal convictions. In the Kurhessischen constitutional conflict he stood on the side of the "notorious tax refusers and resistance" and was forced on December 11th to be fed eight penal Bavarians . Four days later the number was increased to 20. Therefore, the entire court filed requests for resignation. When the Kassel Higher Appeal Court buckled, the Rotenburg court staff also gave up. In the following year, Hassenpflug reduced the higher courts to Fulda and Kassel in order to remove the recalcitrant higher judges. Meibom got off lightly and was only transferred to the newly created criminal court in Marburg as an under-state procurator. At the same time he was head of the prison for serious criminals in Marburg Castle. In Marburg he met Paul Roth , with whom he wrote his first scientific work on "Curhessian private law".

Unsatisfied and unsatisfied with the position, he was appointed to a professorship for German law at the University of Rostock in 1858 through the mediation of Reinhold Pauli (whose father had married Meibom) , although he neither had a doctorate nor did he habilitate . In Rostock he met Roth again. The friendship broke up, however, because Meibom panned Roth in a review. In 1863 he was Mecklenburg representative for six months in the Dresden Commission for the drafting of a general German law of obligations.

In 1866 he accepted a position at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . In 1872 received the Knight's Cross 1st Class of the Order of the Württemberg Crown . In 1873 he became a full professor at the University of Bonn . He had stipulated the appointment to the Privy Councilor in order to imitate the canonist Johann Friedrich von Schulte , who was appointed at the same time .

As early as 1875 he gave up his academic career and was advised by the Reich Higher Commercial Court at the suggestion of his friend Robert Römer . He prevailed against the favored Paul Laband on appeal to the court as the successor to Levin Goldschmidt . There he was a specialist in copyright and patent matters. After its dissolution, he transferred to the Imperial Court on October 1, 1879, where he initially became a member of the Second Civil Senate . As a public rights activist , in 1880 he joined the first civil senate , which was more suitable for him . He drafted the rules of procedure for the Reichsgericht.

Because of his ill health and because he was passed over by the commission for the revision of the patent law, he submitted his pension application at the end of 1886. In 1887 he retired, which he spent in Kassel.
