Willenserklärung, Rechtsgeschäft und Geschäftsfähigkeit

Declaration of intent, legal act and contractual capacity are established terms and basic dogmatic concepts. Starting in the late 19th century, however, it was not the concepts which were adapted to the wording of the civil code but rather the understanding of the code to the older concepts. Christian Fröde takes a different approach based on an analysis of the language of the code, the traditional concepts and their formation.
