    The Minor Provincial Court of the Margraviate of Moravia in the 16th Century (Genesis – Office and Officials – Judicial Agenda), in: ZNR 46 (2024), S. 3­–19

The minor provincial court in Moravia belonged to the key institution of the Estates judiciary. This institution functioned on two basic levels, as an office and as a court. As an office, it handled almost all the business related to the running of the („major“) provincial court. Its clerks were involved in many of the procedural acts of the provincial court, writing manuscripts and taking suits to court. In its own court practice, the minor provincial court dealt with small disputes over small sums. The minor provincial court was exclusively a matter for the knights. Serving in the minor offices represented an important career option for the lower nobility.

    Wirkungen der Ehe im Sächsischen Recht. Entstehungsgeschichte der §§ 1630–1645 des Sächsischen BGB von 1863/65, in: ZNR 46 (2024), S. 20–45

As a core area of marriage law the general effects of marriage cover the rights and duties of spouses among themselves as well as the effects of marriage with regard to third parties. This paper focuses on the development of the general effects of marriage in 19thth Century Saxony especially on the formation of §§ 1630–1645 of the Civil Code for the Kingdom of Saxony (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch für das Königreich Sachsen) of 1863/65, the so-called Saxon Civil Code (Sächsisches BGB). These provisions regulate the rights and duties of husband and wife within the marriage as well as the impact of marriage on legal transactions of the wife with third parties. The analysis of the genesis of these provisions is most notably of importance, because the Saxon Civil Code not simply remained a 19thth Century draft as many others, but it actually entered into force. Thus, its system and its substance served as a role model for the unified Germany’s Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) of 1896/1900.

    Meistererzählungen und Fragmentierungen in der schweizerischen Rechtsgeschichtsschreibung: Mythen, Fabeln und ein gewisses Unbehagen, in: ZNR 46 (2024), S. 60–96

Swiss legal historiography is characterised by two surprisingly long-lasting master narratives: 1) Eugen Huber’s great narrative on the history of private law (1893), which conveyed the image of a separate Swiss development from the late Middle Ages onwards, far removed from ius commune and learned jurists. After the Second World War and in the 1990s, attempts were made to establish a ’romanist’ counter-narrative. At the same time, Pio Caroni spent years developing his own great narrative, which focuses primarily on the 19th and 20th centuries and emphasises the political and social background of the Swiss Civil Code. While Caroni’s work has remained relatively isolated, in recent years there has been a battle for interpretative control over the mythical figure of Eugen Huber and his great narrative. 2) The master arrative of constitutional history, which is characterised by the liberal ideas of the late 19th century and has found its current version in the exhaustive work by Alfred Kölz (1992–2004). In addition to these two master narratives, fragmentation can also be observed within the Swiss legalhistorical landscape: in addition to the long-standing linguistic and cultural differences, greater thematic fragmentation has also occurred in recent decades, which on the one hand can be interpreted positively as pluralisation, but on the other hand also bears the risk of a final drifting apart.
