This project in the field of Legal History focusses on the so far underestimated but crucial problem of just wages. On a methodological level the project seeks a new approach by using history of justice, instead as legal history. Object of research is the legal reflection on wages and their philosophical and economic legitimacy. The period of analysis covers a time span from the late middle ages, where scholasticism combined various moral and theological arguments on just wages, to English legislation on fair wages in the 19th century and the specific legal problems following the dissolution of standard employment relationships approximately after 1970. Arguments for the justification of certain wages shall be analyzed. The focus hereby does not only lie on legal arguments in a narrow sense, but also on philosophical and economic considerations, providing specific sources of normativity, which need to be seen in contexts of legal history and linked to sources of legal history such as juridical literature, legislation or court decisions. In order to meet this objective, the research experience of two principal investigators and applicants for the DFG-research support must be brought together. This should help to create new chances for young researches in a joint project on the comprehensive legal history of just wages in Europe. For the gathering of historical sources about wages we follow two main strategies, which are linked to one another. One approach focusses on certain professional branches, since social status and labour conditions in specific environments can be relevant as sources of normativity for payment. Another approach collects sources following academic or scientific fields of discourse, such as catholic movements, socialist movements in the 19th century etc., which again can determine the reflections on wages according to political preconceptions or legal traditions. A link of both approaches facilitates a comprehensive and profound analysis of the various normative conditions of remuneration for work on a horizontal and vertical level. The project is divided in single work packages containing two PhD-projects, one on judicial conflicts about unfair wages in Germany, another about the justification and legal regulation of income of children and women, with particular regard to married women and the conflicts with patrimonial claims of their husbands in Germany and France. As effect of the synergies of the various studies we aim at the development of a typology of criteria for just wages in different epochs and social and political environments. A catalogue of arguments for just wages is to be presented on an international concluding conference. The publications deriving from the project can not only enhance the current state of research in legal history but also the understanding of actual political debates on the law of labour and industrial relations.

这个项目在法律的历史领域的重点是迄今为止被低估的，但关键的问题，公正的工资。在方法论层面上，该项目通过使用司法史而不是法律的史来寻求一种新的方法。研究对象是对工资及其哲学和经济合法性的法律的反思。分析的时间跨度从中世纪晚期，经院哲学结合了各种道德和神学的论点，公正的工资，在19世纪世纪的公平工资和具体的法律的问题后，约1970年后的标准雇佣关系的解散。应分析某些工资合理性的论据。因此，重点不仅在于狭义上的法律的论点，而且在于哲学和经济考虑，提供规范性的具体来源，需要在法律的历史背景下看待这些来源，并与司法文献、立法或法院判决等法律的历史来源联系起来。为了实现这一目标，两个主要研究者和DFG研究支持申请人的研究经验必须结合在一起。这将有助于在一个关于欧洲公正工资的全面法律的历史的联合项目中为年轻的研究人员创造新的机会。为了收集有关工资的历史资料，我们遵循两个相互联系的主要策略。一种办法侧重于某些专业部门，因为特定环境中的社会地位和劳动条件可能是薪酬规范性的相关来源。另一种方法收集学术或科学领域的话语，如天主教运动，19世纪世纪的社会主义运动等，这又可以根据政治偏见或法律的传统来决定对工资的看法。将这两种方法联系起来，有助于全面和深入地分析横向和纵向工作报酬的各种规范性条件。该项目分为单一的工作包，其中包括两个博士项目，一个是关于德国不公平工资的司法冲突，另一个是关于儿童和妇女收入的正当性和法律的规定，特别是关于已婚妇女及其丈夫在德国和法国的继承权要求的冲突。由于各种研究的协同作用，我们的目标是在不同的时代和社会和政治环境中发展公正工资标准的类型学。将在一次国际总结会议上提出一份关于公正工资的论据目录。该项目产生的出版物不仅可以加强法律的史研究的现状，而且可以加强对关于劳工法和劳资关系的实际政治辩论的理解。
