and other countries, edited by Max Sering and Constantin von Dietze. The work, contributed to by Gustav Wagemann, delves into the legal frameworks and historical evolution of property rights affecting rural estates. It examines the unique characteristics of German and Germanic legal traditions, contrasting them with Roman law, and discusses the development of the Anerbenrecht—a customary law ensuring the undivided inheritance of family farms to prevent oversubscription and fragmentation. The book is intended for legal historians, scholars of inheritance law, and those interested in agricultural land policy. |
