Wolfgang Marotzke

Wolfgang Marotzke (* 1949 in Bielefeld ) is a German lawyer and professor at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen .

Life

Marotzke first attended secondary school before he passed his Abitur after graduating from the Friedrich von Bodelschwingh School in Bethel in 1968. In the same year he began studying law at the University of Cologne , which he later continued at the University of Bielefeld . In 1973 he passed the first state examination in law, and in 1975 the second. He then worked as a doctoral student with Gerhard Otte in Bielefeld. In 1977 he completed his doctorate. In 1984 Marotzke completed his habilitation, also with Otte. This was accompanied by the award of the venia legendi for civil law and civil procedural law.

In the winter semester 1983/84, before completing his habilitation, Marotzke held a chair for private law at the University of Hanover . He held his first own professorship from 1984, when he accepted a call from the University of Konstanz to the chair for civil law and related areas. He stayed there until 1989. In that year he moved to Erlangen , where he succeeded Karl-Heinz Schwab on the chair for civil law, civil procedural law, bankruptcy law and voluntary jurisdiction. In parallel to his work in Erlangen, in the winter semester 1991/1992 and in the summer semester 1992 he held teaching duties at the University of Jena due to a visiting professorship , which no longer had enough of its own teaching staff as a result of the measures taken in connection with German reunification. Marotzke declined a call to the chair for civil law, commercial and procedural law at the University of Göttingen. In 1994 he accepted a chair for civil law, civil procedural law, voluntary jurisdiction and insolvency law at the University of Tübingen .

Marotzke's research focuses on civil law and procedural law. His publication activities focus on inheritance law, the interfaces between inheritance and company law, insolvency law, legal policy, intellectual property law and the causes and management of financial market crises. Marotzke is also co-editor of the magazine for all insolvency law (ZInsO). After a public farewell lecture on the topic of risk sharing and responsibility as (effective?) Power-correctors. Some thoughts on corporate law, the genesis of banking and financial market crises as well as the fateful issues of global environmental and posterity protection and their publication by Springer specialist media, Marotzke retired in 2017 at the age of 67. However, he continues to work in research and teaching. He is also a co-signer of the “Statement by Scientists on Protests for More Climate Protection - # Scientists4Future” published in spring 2019. This statement supports the youth movement “ Fridays for Future ” in the underlying risk assessments and the demand for a significant stepping up of previous climate protection efforts.

Marotzke is married and has two daughters.
