»The Gäubahn Report. The Individual Case as Catalyst and Correctiv in Rudolf von Jhering's Legal Thought«: On the basis of Jhering's claimant party report on the Gäubahn-Comité, this thesis examines how the relationship between his theory and practice was structured in his legal thought. Jhering's solutions to the legal questions raised are contrasted by the interplay with the arguments of his contemporary peers in the legal landscape of his time, thereby revealing the entanglement of his theoretical and practical work.
