Legal history of the "Reichsland Elsass-Lothringen"

法德边境地区，无论边界在哪里，即使在现代，也是一个混合的地区，不仅以多种语言、多信仰和多重忠诚和身份为特征，而且还以法律文化交流和法律多元化为特征；它还充当了测试新模式的实验室。1815年后，法国法律继续作为巴登或莱茵法律在德国联邦的几个成员国适用，并对这些州的法律发展产生了相当大的影响，而相反，德国民法与《民法典》的讨论在法国得到了广泛的欢迎。然而，这只解决了这些过程中经过充分研究的一个方面。另一个尚未被研究的方面是德国法律在“帝国·埃尔萨斯-洛斯林根条约”(1871-1918)和法国东部至今的引入和效力。这一愿望现已部分实现：DFG资助的研究项目第一次考察了“帝国”法律制度的出现及其在1918年以后作为最高法院继续存在的情况、地方法院、参与适用该法的机构和个人以及(作为例子)帝国法院和帝国法院取代最高上诉法院成为最高上诉法院的做法。在研究项目的第二阶段，将首次在将阿尔萨斯-洛林作为德国次区域的概念的背景下，对1871年至1918年阿尔萨斯-洛林的政治和法律管理进行全面审查。此外，还将对初审判例进行全面分析，其范围将超出1918年的门槛，最重要的是侧重于法德家庭的情况。最后，基于对当地所有权的分析，将与意大利北部(特别是南蒂罗尔/特伦蒂诺)进行比较，那里可能在1918年后出现了具有自己的法律文化的混合法律制度。

The Franco-German border region, regardless of where the border ran, was a hybrid region even in modern times, characterised not only by multilingualism, polyconfessionalism and multiple loyalties and identities, but also by legal-cultural exchange and legal plurality; it also served as a laboratory for testing new models. After 1815, French law continued to apply as Baden or Rhenish law in several member states of the German Confederation and had a considerable influence on the development of law in these states, while conversely, the discussion of German civil law with the Code Civil was widely received in France. However, this only addresses one, well-researched side of these processes. The other side, which had not yet been researched, concerns the introduction and validity of German law in the "Reichsland Elsass-Lothringen" (1871-1918) and in Eastern France up to the present day. This desideratum has now been partially fulfilled: For the first time, the research project funded by the DFG examined the emergence of the legal system of the "Reichsland" and its continued existence beyond 1918 as droit local, the institutions and persons involved in the application of this law, and (as an example) the practice of the courts of the Reichsland and the Reichsoberhandelsgericht, which had replaced the Cour de Cassation as the Court of Cassation. In the second phase of the research project, the political and legal administration of Alsace-Lorraine from 1871-1918 will be examined comprehensively for the first time against the backdrop of the concept of the "restoration" of this territory as a German sub-region. In addition, there will be a comprehensive analysis of first-instance jurisprudence, which will extend beyond the threshold of 1918 and above all focus on the situation of French-German families. Finally, based on the analysis of the droit local, a comparison will be made with northern Italy (especially South Tyrol/Trentino), where a mixed legal system with its own legal culture is likely to have emerged after 1918.
