这一章描绘了联邦宪法法院的历史发展，并细致入微地关注了其引人注目的崛起的各种先决条件和不可简化的偶然性。它始于最高法院的崛起，它巧妙地利用了战后西德国未知局势所提供的机会。特别是通过其广泛的人权判例，法院努力从根本上实现德国法律的制度的自由化，并动摇了传统的司法制度。因此，联邦宪法法院成了德国第二个民主国家的助产士。然而，由于它的成功和联邦共和国的最终稳定和繁荣，现在是一个具有巩固的民主文化的自由社会，该国越来越少地依赖法院及其倡议。因此，法院成了其自身成功的受害者。导致法院重要性下降的其他因素是，由于德国法律的制度日益欧洲化和国际化，法院魅力丧失。
This chapter charts the Federal Constitutional Court’s historical development, with a nuanced attention to the motley preconditions—and the irreducible contingency—of its remarkable rise. It begins with the rise of the Court, which adroitly used the opportunities offered by the uncharted situation of postwar West Germany. Especially by way of its extensive human rights jurisprudence, the Court worked toward a fundamental liberalization of the German legal system and shook up the traditional judiciary. The Federal Constitutional Court thus became the midwife of the second German democracy. However, owing to its successes and the eventual stability and prosperity of the Federal Republic, which was now a liberal society with a solidified democratic culture, the country came to depend less and less on the Court and its initiatives. The Court thus became a victim of its own success. Other factors involved in the Court’s fading importance are the loss of charisma through routinization and the increasing Europeanization and internationalization of the German legal system.
