Life

In the Weimar Republic he was twice rector of the CAU from 1923 to 1925 . His focus was on civil law , Roman law , civil procedural law and labor law . After the Reichstag election in March 1933 , Wedemeyer and his colleague Walther Schücking were among the professors whose dismissal was demanded by the student body and the press. Wedemeyer stood by the Weimar Republic and by his hostile and persecuted friend Hermann Kantorowicz , who was convinced of Germany's guilt in the First World War . Under such pressure, Wedemeyer asked for his release on May 22, 1933, which took place on June 7. He died a year later at the age of 63.
