Karl Schildener

Karl Schildener (26 August 1777 – 28 December 1843) was a German lawyer, legal historian and university lecturer.

His father was the council pharmacist Johann Karl Schildener (1739-1803), his mother Christina Liboria (1752-1824) a daughter of Balzer Peter Vahl, mayor of Greifswald from 1788 to 1792.

The commission, in which Schildener collaborated with Ernst Moritz Arndt, first worked in Lund and then in Stockholm until 1807.

The main translation "The Swedish Reich's Law, Approved and Adopted at the Reichstag in 1734" was published in 1807 in Stockholm, but was no longer put into effect in Pomerania.

When the work was completed, Swedish Pomerania was occupied by France, so that Schildener could not return to Greifswald until 1809.
