Abstract
AbstractPreliminary Observations on a Mammoth Civil Procedure at the Oberappellationsgericht Lübeck (1819–1835). This miscellany reviews an important contribution to the research on German judicature in the 19th century by legal historian Peter Oestmann: “Zur Gerichtspraxis im 19. Jahrhundert. Ein Schmuggeleiprozess am Oberappellationsgericht Lübeck”, two parts, 2019. His edition contains the complete text of five case files of a fiercely contested civil trial, the so-called “smuggling case”. The judges, headed by their presiding judge Arnold Heise, a former professor in Heidelberg and Göttingen and famous representative of the German Pandektenwissenschaft, did their very best. Nevertheless, it took them 16 years to put an end to this intractable legal and social conflict. The far from convincing result of their efforts raises questions, outlined in the second part of the miscellany. Further research has to be conducted to reach conclusions.
