Thomas WilmerDie Vorschriften über den „Raufhandel“ im „Strafgesezbuch für das Königreich Baiern“ von 1813 (Erster Theil, Art. 153–156)

About this book deutschenglish

This exegesis presents an in-depth analysis of the legal provisions concerning so-called "brawling" (“Raufhandel”) as defined in the Penal Code for the Kingdom of Bavaria from 1813. The study focuses on the legal, historical, and societal contexts in which these norms emerged and were applied.

The exegesis elaborates on the function and significance of these provisions within the criminal law system of the time and the influence of Anselm von Feuerbach on the legislative process. Both the doctrinal foundations and the practical implications of the relevant provisions are examined. The analysis offers a well-founded insight into the development of criminal law in the early 19th century and illustrates how contemporary legal thought influenced the evolution of penal legislation.

This work is particularly aimed at scholars and researchers in the fields of legal history, historical criminology, and legal doctrine. It provides a detailed case study on a rarely discussed yet legally significant aspect of criminal law, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the roots of modern criminal jurisprudence from the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina (CCC) to current discussions on co-responsibility for third-party offences.
