Life

After graduating from high school, Walter Bayer studied law in Mannheim and Lausanne as a scholarship holder of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation . After the first state examination in 1981 and the second state examination in 1984, he became a research assistant at the University of Mannheim in 1985. There, in 1988, with a group law investigation into the cross-border domination agreement, he became Dr. iur. PhD. He then worked as a research assistant on his habilitation thesis, in which he dealt with the contract for the benefit of third parties .

In the 1994/95 winter semester, Bayer accepted a position at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena , where he has held the chair for civil law , commercial and corporate law , private insurance law and private international law ever since. From 1996 to 2010 he was a part-time judge at the Thuringian Higher Regional Court , and since 2000 he has been a member of the Thuringian Constitutional Court . In 2002 Bayer turned down an offer for the chair for civil law, commercial and economic law and comparative law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . Since 2005 he has also been director of the Institute for Legal Fact Research on German and European Company Law at the University of Jena, since 2010 Director of the Institute for Energy Law and the Institute for Notary Law at the University of Jena.

Bayer's students include Jan Lieder and Jessica Schmidt .

Varia

According to a report by the LTO , Bayer is said to have authored one of the reports that contributed to the decision on the honorary professorship for the incumbent President of the Federal Constitutional Court, Stephan Harbarth . The second reviewer was Mathias Habersack . The award of the honorary professorship to Harbarth has been criticized, among other things because of the proximity of his former law firm Schilling, Zutt & Anschütz (SZA) and the experts involved. At the University of Jena, for example, the senior partner from Harbarth's previous law firm, Jochem Reichert, is an honorary professor. At the same time as Bayer, he is a board member of the Friends' Association of the Institute for Legal Facts Research at the University of Jena.
