Agathon Wunderlich

Gottlob Friedrich Walter Agathon Wunderlich (12 March 1810 in Göttingen – 21 November 1878) was a German jurist and a member of the Oberappellationsgericht der vier Freien Städte (an upper appellate court).

Although he was not a Prussian citizen, he was awarded a scholarship to study at the prestigious Landesschule Pforta (1824–28).

Due to the repeal of the Hanoverian state constitution by King Ernest Augustus and associated dismissal of the Göttingen Seven (1837), Wunderlich moved to Berlin to acquire "Prussian habilitation".

Through assistance from Johann Jakob Bachofen (1815–1877), he attained the chair of Roman law at the University of Basel in 1838.

In 1850 he was appointed as a judge of the Oberappellationsgericht der vier Freien Städte (High Court of Appeal of the four Free Cities) in Lübeck.
