Paul Selbherr dies at 86

Friedrich Graf von Westphalen & Partner mourns the death of its senior colleague and co-founder of the law firm Bappert Witz & Selbherr.

Paul Selbherr was a lawyer in Freiburg since 1960. The law firm Bappert Witz & Selbherr with which Friedrich Graf von Westphalen & Partner merged in 2001 owes its outstanding development first and foremost to him. Besides working as a lawyer, Paul Selbherr was appointed to the board of the Freiburg bar association in 1975 and was its president from 1980 until 2000. From 1991 until 1999, he was a member of the executive board of the German Federal Bar Association (Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer).

Paul Selbherr, a son of a judge, was born in Saulgau in 1929. He was raised in Ravensburg, completed his legal studies in Tübingen and Cologne and took up his first job as a lawyer at a law firm in Stuttgart. In Freiburg he was a valued lawyer and advisor of many renowned companies for many years. Paul Selbherr passed away on 1 February 2016 at the age of 86.

We have lost a great colleague and will always keep fond memories of him and his extraordinary personality.

We would like to express our sincere condolences to his wife and family.

A book of condolences is available at the reception of our Freiburg office.

The funeral service will take place on Friday, 19 February 2016 at 9.30 a.m. in the church St. Blasius, Kirchplatz 7, 79108 Freiburg-Zähringen.
