from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Heinrich Wilhelm Heinroth (born September 19, 1842 in Limmer ; † October 28, 1925 in Berlin ) was a German judge and parliamentarian.

Life

After attending the humanistic grammar schools in Lüneburg and Celle, Wilhelm Heinroth studied law at the Georg-August University in Göttingen and one semester at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . In 1861 he became a member of the Corps Friso-Luneburgia Göttingen . He was a single award-winning consenior and triple award-winning senior . He fought 32 lengths and gained fame as a fencer because of his much-feared low quarters, with which he almost regularly scored. A colored lithograph from 1862 shows him doing a scale length with Friedrich Bacmeister .

After completing his studies, Heinroth became an auditor in the Hanoverian civil service in 1865. In 1869 he became an assessor at the Crown Attorney's Office in Osnabrück . In 1870 he moved to the Blumenthal District Court , where he was appointed District Judge in 1873. In 1874 he moved to Osnabrück as a senior judge, where he was appointed district judge in 1879. He became district court director at the district court of Hagen (1887) and the district court of Hanover (1892). In October 1893 he headed the Hanover Gambling and Usury Trial , which became the springboard for his later legal career. In 1894 he was appointed President of the Göttingen Regional Court and in 1905 President of the Celle Higher Regional Court. As President of the Göttingen Regional Court, he made a special contribution to the introduction of the Civil Code .

In November 1909 Heinroth became President of the Court of Appeal , the first recent President to have started his legal career outside the Prussian judicial service. He was also Chairman of the Disciplinary Court for the Protected Areas . On October 25, 1918, he presided over the last session of the Privy Council of Justice . On December 6, 1919 he was sworn in on the Weimar Constitution . Following his swearing in, on the same day all judges of the Chamber Court were sworn in on the new constitution of the German Reich. On April 1, 1921, he became the first person to retire under the new age limit law .

Heinroth was considered a brilliant negotiator. He was characterized by great human benevolence and understanding and stood up for his employees and the next generation of lawyers. With his second wife he formed the social center of the Chamber Court.

In 1910, the Crown of Prussia appointed Heinroth a crown syndic . From 1910 to 1918 he sat in the Prussian mansion . Max Liebermann portrayed him in 1914 on behalf of the Court of Appeal. Since 1913 he was a member of the lawless society in Berlin .

Wilhelm Heinroth died in Berlin in 1925 at the age of 83 and was buried in the Old Twelve Apostles Cemetery in Schöneberg . The grave has not been preserved.
