Friedrich Julius Stahl

Friedrich Julius Stahl (January 16, 1802 - August 10, 1861), German ecclesiastical lawyer and politician, was born at Munich, of Jewish parentage.Although brought up strictly in the Jewish religion, he was allowed to attend the gymnasium, and, as a result of its influence, was at the age of nineteen baptized into the Lutheran Church. To this faith he clung with earnest devotion and persistence until his death. Having studied law at Würzburg, Heidelberg and Erlangen, Stahl, on taking the degree of doctor juris, established himself as privatdozent in Munich, was appointed (1832) ordinary professor of law at Wurzburg, and in 1840 received the chair of ecclesiastical law and polity at Berlin.
