Lübeck law

The Liibeck law ( also Lübsches right ) was the law adopted by the imperial city of Lübeck, which gained in over 100 cities around the Baltic Sea validity. The right of the City of Lübeck is, even " Lübeckisches law."

Formation

An early summary of the Code took place in 1294 at the instigation of Lübeck Chancellor Albert of Bardewik. On behalf of the Mayor of Lübeck Tidemann of Güstrow it was written in 1348 by the Vicar Helmicus Thymmonis and then also called Tideman Güstrowscher Code. It was then revised in 1586 and first printed by Johann Balhorn as The Kayser Lichen Freyen and of the Holy Empire city of Lübeck Statuta and municipal law in High German. In his constitutional content, it has been modified from Lübeck only once by the Kassarezess and the Bürgerrezess and codified in the approach.

It was in large parts of its range until 1900, when it was replaced by the Civil Code.

Appeals against decisions of cities with Lübischem law, the appeal to the Oberhof Lübeck was given as a court of appeal.

It is next to the Magdeburg law one of the most important city rights in Germany.
