  Experimentelle Gesetzgebung? Die Posener Justizreform von 1817 als hybrides Verfahrensmodell in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, in: ZNR 45 (2023), S. 1–19

Legal historians still assume that the influence of French civil procedure in Prussia after 1815 was limited to the areas on the left bank of the Rhine. This focus ensured that other areas were disregarded, including the Prussian province of Posen. Here, however, a procedural code came into force as early as 1817 that adopted French elements and combined them with Prussian elements and those of “ius commune”. The purpose of this article is to shed light on the Posen Code of Procedure of 1817. It will be noticeable that this regulation represents an experimental attempt of Prussia and thus also had an impact on other areas, such as the arbitration system and, of course, the revision of the “Allgemeine Gerichtsordnung”. Therefore, it served as a precursor of the introduction of oral proceedings into Prussian and, in connection with this, the German civil procedural law as well.

  Österreich und der Vertrag von Sèvres. Der Diskurs um den Friedensvertrag mit der Türkei im Spiegel österreichischer Gesandtschaftsberichte und der deutschsprachigen Presse der ehemaligen Habsburgermonarchie, in: ZNR 45 (2023), S. 20–36

The 1920 Treaty of Sèvres between the Allied Powers and Turkey, although never ratified, can undoubtedly be considered as one of the most important international treaties of the last century. As the last of the five peace treaties, it not only ended the First World War, but also laid the foundation for a reorganization of the entire Middle East. Standing in the shadow of the Treaty of Versailles and, in Austria, in the shadow of the Treaty of St. Germain, the 1920 peace treaty with Turkey has received comparatively little attention from German-language historical research to this day. The low level of attention paid to the peace treaty with Turkey in the German-speaking world raises the question of how the negotiations surrounding the Turkish peace treaty, as well as the Turkish peace treaty itself, were perceived by Austrian diplomats on the one hand, and in the German speaking press of the former Habsburg monarchy on the other hand. Of articular interest in this context is what impact the revision of the peace treaty with Turkey had on the young Austrian Republic.

  Die Vertreibungen in der deutschen Staatsrechtslehre während des Nationalsozialismus. Kriterienbildung und Bestandsaufnahme, in: ZNR 45 (2023), S. 37–74

According to unanimous research, the expulsions of German constitutional law scholars from Germanspeaking universities during the National Socialist era beginning in 1933 caused the decline of the legal discipline. The fact that this finding can currently not be based on a secure scientific foundation sparked the idea to accurately measure the loss of the institutionally linked discipline quantitatively and, to a limited extent, also qualitatively, with numbers and names, by means of a comprehensive scholar-byscholar survey, and thus to draw up a conclusive overall picture. Who was expelled and where? When and for what reasons did this happen? What conclusions can be drawn from the expulsion of German constitutional jurists as a whole? This essay answers these and other questions on the basis of a specially developed criterion and cohort formation. The overriding concern of this study is to make the effort of coming to terms with the crimes of the past and to commemorating some expelled scholars, of whom not a few have been forgotten.

  The merchant on stage: Grand narratives in the history of commercial law, in:  ZNR 45 (2023), S. 75–96

The historiography on commercial law in Europe for the later Middle Ages and early modern period has greatly changed over the course of two centuries. A decisive moment was the recalibration of commercial law to a law of merchants, at the end of the nineteenth century. The category of merchant became dominant. This resulted in a perspective that mercantile law existed outside the framework of the state and beyond the reach of jurists. Looking at the coming into being of these views allows to see paths for scholarship on the theme in the future.
