Kleine Unternehmen: Schutz und Interessenausgleich im Machtgefüge zwischen Arbeitnehmern, Verbrauchern und Großunternehmen.

根据法律，小企业几乎总是被分别视为雇主或商家，尽管它们并不完全属于雇主-雇员或消费者-商家的二元论。以此为契机，从根本上审视法律对小企业的保护，在雇员、消费者和大企业之间的权力关系中创造适当的平衡。在此基础上，应制定相关法规的监管建议、论证模式和解释。首先，以涵盖不同法律领域的跨学科方法讨论基本问题。在此背景下，将说明小企业的经济背景，以便为它们需要法律保护提供充分的理由。在专门介绍历史的部分，将探讨对小企业的法律保护如何随着时间的推移而发展。下一节论述了小企业保护的实施情况。本部分的第一个一般部分探讨了立法和司法中的法律义务和边界。在这方面有三种不同的做法，这三种做法同时要求并约束对小企业的保护：宪法、经济考虑和司法。然后将在一般部分中取得的结果应用于选定的法律领域。

Under the law, small businesses are almost always treated as employer or merchant respectively, although they fall not cleanly into the dichotomies of employer - employee or consumer - merchant. This situation is taken as an occasion to fundamentally examine the protection of small business by the law and to create an appropriate balance in the power relation between employees, consumers and large businesses. On this basis, regulatory proposals, argumentation patterns and interpretations of the relevant regulations shall be developed.First the basics are discussed in an interdisciplinary approach embracing the various fields of law. In this context, the economic background of small businesses will be illuminated, in order to give sound reasons for their need for legal protection. In the part devoted to the history it will be explored how the legal protection of small businesses has developed over time. The next section discusses the implementation of the protection of small businesses. The first, general part of this section explores the legal obligations and boundaries in legislation and jurisdiction. Three approaches are distinguished in this respect, which at the same time demand and bound the protection of small businesses: The constitution, economic considerations and justice. The results gained in the general part are then applied to selected areas of law.
