German Civil Code Volume I
Books 1-3: §§ 1-1296
Abstract
The Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch is the very backbone of German civil law. Its legal concepts and principles are essential for the understanding of the law of one of Europe’s major legal systems. In its first edition, this article-by-article commentary covers Books 1 to 3 of the German Civil Code:
General Part
Law of Obligations
Law of Property.
The commentary reflects the law on 31 December 2018 and includes translations of legislation until 31 December 2019. The clear and uniform structure of each commentary allows for easy navigation through the complex legal concepts and challenging terminology. Through concise explanations, the abstract articles are brought to life and their meaning becomes accessible to lawyers, legislators, students, scholars, and translators.
This commentary is edited by Professor Dr Gerhard Dannemann, Humboldt University of Berlin, and Professor Dr Reiner Schulze, University of Münster. The contributors to the commentary are academics and practitioners in the field of civil and comparative law.
