Das BGB als Durchgangspunkt

Privatrechtsmethode und Privatrechtsleitbilder bei Heinrich Lehmann (1876-1963)

[The German Civil Code as a Point of Transition. Private Law Methods and Private Law Models in the Works of Heinrich Lehmann (1876-1963). By André Depping.]

Published in German.

André Depping has taken the unusual step of writing a small history of private law in the 20th century using the biography and the works of one person: Heinrich Lehmann. He focuses on the development of the German Civil Code from 1900 on and on Lehmann's rejection of the Code which he called a 'point of transition'. In doing so, he also does an in-depth study of Lehmann's role during the National Socialist era. The author concludes the work with an appendix containing a previously unpublished draft, written by Lehmann, of the basic rules of the National Civil Code of 1942.
