Description
Other title:Heinrich Zoepfl
Summary:Heinrich Zoepfl (1807-1877), Heidelberg Professor of Legal History and Constitutional Law, was active in the turbulent times of the "Vormärz", the "German Revolution" of 1848/49 and the foundation of the German Reich in 1870/71. He took an active part in all events, both in the lecture hall and through his writings, in the First Baden Chamber and in the Erfurt Union Parliament, as well as through widespread activity as an expert. As such, he advised the government in Karlsruhe, those affected by political repression, cities, parliaments and individuals, but especially numerous "mediatized" aristocratic houses, which not only had to cope with their loss of political power, but also had to solve many internal legal issues. Zoepfl was always involved as an expert on aristocratic professional law.For the first time, this volume presents a list of Zoepfls' unprinted and printed expert reports, commission reports, and works that can be found in Heidelberg University Library. Biographical details and an appreciation of his textbooks are followed by critiques of selected expert opinions, and historical outlines of the political situation in Zoepfl's lifetime.
Heinrich Zoepfl (1807-1877), Heidelberger Professor für Rechtsgeschichte und Staatsrecht, wirkte in den bewegten Zeiten des "Vormärz", der "deutschen Revolution" von 1848/49 und der Reichsgründung 1870/71. Er nahm an allen Ereignissen lebhaften Anteil, sowohl im Hörsaal und in seinen Schriften, in der Ersten badischen Kammer und im Erfurter Unionsparlament, als auch durch eine ausgebreitete Tätigkeit als Gutachter. Als solcher beriet er die Regierung in Karlsruhe, Betroffene von politischer Repression, Städte, Parlamente und Einzelpersonen, besonders aber zahlreiche "mediatisierte" Adelshäuser, die nicht nur ihren politischen Machtverlust zu verkraften, sondern auch viele interne Rechtsfragen zu lösen hatten. Stets wurde Zoepfl als Kenner adeligen Standesrechts gefragt.
