abstract
The author analyses Gierke’s speech called “The German Historical School of Law and the Germanistics” given on 3rd August 1903 to celebrate the endowment of the Berlin University. On interpreting this source she divides her paper in following parts: 1) The impact of the German Historical Germanistics for the forming of National Legal History in Gierke’s work. 2) The tension between Germanistics and Romanistics as a driving force for the forming of National German Legal History. 3) The overestimation of the National German Legal History as the legitimate platform for a new Germanic state order in the fifferentiation to the Triple Entente. 4) Conclusion: the Prussian state as the realization of the ideal German state. The paper also includes a thorough analysis of Gierke’s theory pf associations which was of great importance for the further development of the legal science in the past and present.
