Life

Endemann's parents were the lawyer and Senate President Konrad Endemann and his wife Charlotte Wilhelmine nee. Gray . One brother was Friedrich Carl Endemann , Vice Mayor of Kassel and a member of the Reichstag.

Endemann attended the Friedrichsgymnasium (Kassel) from 1825 to 1843 . After graduating from high school, he studied law , economics and history at the Philipps University of Marburg . In 1843 he became a member of the Corps Teutonia Marburg . As an inactive , he moved to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . From 1847 to 1851 he completed the legal preparatory service for the judicial service in the Electorate of Hesse . In 1851 Endemann was a public prosecutor in Rinteln . Then he was from 1852 district assessor and from 1856 senior court assessor in Fulda. He married Katinka Pult there that same year . One son was Friedrich Endemann .

For his scientific achievements he was made an honorary doctorate from the University of Jena in 1862 . In the same year this university appointed him full professor and in the summer semesters 1864 and 1872 rector . At the same time he was appellate judge there. He taught commercial and procedural law as well as legal and economic history.

A significant achievement in the field of legal and economic history were his "Studies in Romance-Canonical Economics and Legal Doctrine." This work appeared in two volumes in 1874 and 1883. His other legal work has contributed to the further development of commercial and civil procedural law.

Endemann is counted among the younger historical school of law . With a view to the practical and social task of law, the evolutionist progress of law was particularly important to him. In contrast to other representatives of the historical school of law, in his opinion legal history had the task of paving the way for a progressive transformation of the law. The expression of his more sociological than historical-dogmatic method can be found in his textbook on commercial law from 1865. He has also contributed to the further development of practice in the area of ​​procedural law. Since 1867 he was also a member of the North German Federal Commission for Civil Procedure Law. In 1872 he took part in the general statistical congress in St. Petersburg.

politics

Endemann was also active as a parliamentarian . In Bonn he belonged to the German Association, which was initially headed by Heinrich von Sybel . He was a member of the national liberal party and belonged to the left wing. He sat for the constituency Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt in the Reichstag (North German Federation) and (in the first legislative period) in the Reichstag (German Empire) . He represented the Eisenach constituency . In the Catholic Rhine Province he was later unable to prevent the decline of the National Liberals in favor of the Center Party . Disappointed by various attacks, he finally withdrew completely from political life.
