Summary
This work contains a collection of letters and other documents which refer to the life and works of the Berlin jurist Eduard Gans (1797-1839). Due to the events he experienced during his lifetime, he is still of interest today: He was a champion of Jewish emancipation in Prussia, was an adversary of Savigny and a friend of Heine and Hegel, he paved the way for the Young Hegelians and struggled unswervingly against the arbitrariness of the authorities in the pre-March era in Germany. The letters provide a clear picture of one of the most interesting and most militant German jurists of the 19th century.
