family

Wilhelm Ferdinand Steinacker came from the middle-class Steinacker family, which has been documented in Quedlinburg since the beginning of the 16th century . The uninterrupted line-up begins with Hans Steinacker, who was councilor and treasurer of the city of Quedlinburg in 1530 . His grandson was Philipp Steinacker (around 1565–1613), a lawyer and Princely Saxon councilor and court judge at Coburg . Steinacker's great-grandfather was Johann David Steinacker (the elder) (1668–1729), "royal Prussian and the council of elders in Magdeburg Accountant ", his grandfather Christian Steinacker (1709–1747), merchant and leather merchant in Leipzig.

Steinacker was the eldest son of the Leipzig citizen and businessman Johann David Steinacker (the younger) (1746-1804). His father was married twice, the first time to Kunigunde Charlotte geb. Wendt, after his death with his mother, Johanne Jacobine Christine geb. Geissler (1754-1840). Steinacker had three siblings, including one brother. His sister Henriette Wilhelmine Steinacker (1793-1859) married the engineer and teacher at the Royal Saxon Military Education Institute, Karl Friedrich Peschel (1793-1852). Steinacker died without offspring .

Life

Steinacker received his first academic training at the cathedral school in Merseburg and from Easter 1805 at the Pforta state school , where he studied until Michaelis 1810. He then studied philology at the University of Leipzig from 1810 under Gottfried Hermann and received his doctorate on March 4, 1813 as a doctor of philosophy and fine art. In the same year, after Easter, at the beginning of the summer semester , Steinacker went to the University of Göttingen to study law , but later returned to Leipzig, where he worked on September 18, 1822 in the office of the Leipzig lawyer Dr. jur. Treitschke was enrolled as a lawyer and finally received his doctorate on February 20, 1823 at the University of Leipzig as a doctor of law . After that, Steinacker initially worked as a lawyer and as a private lecturer .

In 1826 Steinacker became an associate member of the law faculty of Leipzig University, and in 1827 he received the rank and title of royal Saxon court and judicial councilor in the state government of Saxony. From this it went in 1831, when the state government was repealed and two colleges, the state judicial college and the state directorate were formed, to the state judicial college under the leadership of the then President Dr. Iron stucco over. According to Steinacker's request, the transfer to the rank of appellate councilor to the Saxon state appellate court in Dresden did not take place until July 1832, where he only worked for about a year and a half. As early as 1833 he resigned from civil service to return to Leipzig as the fourth full professor of Saxon law.

On December 17, 1834, Steinacker took up his professorship in patriotic law at the university, retaining his title, and in the university year 1837/38 he was rector of the alma mater and full professor of the law faculty. As a representative of Leipzig University, he was a member of the first chamber of the Saxon state parliament in 1848 . In the winter semester of 1849/50 Steinacker received the Knight's Cross of the Royal Saxon Order of Merit for his services to patriotic law .

Due to several illnesses and an eye ailment, Steinacker asked for health reasons to be released in 1862, whereby he was awarded the Commander's Cross of the Saxon Order of Civil Merit when he left . He was finally retired with effect from January 1, 1863, but died around 15 months later. In a necrology of the scientific supplement of the Leipziger Zeitung of May 15, 1864 Steinacker was described as an excellent lawyer with a rare professional loyalty and as a man of the first greatness also in scientific terms.

Steinacker was also canon in Naumburg .
