The "Palandt" and the "Schönfelder" have accompanied generations of German jurists. But who were the namesakes of these two reference works? What understanding of law and legal self-perception did they stand for, and what was their relationship to the Nazi state? In his study, Lutz Kreller examines the lives of two jurists who ultimately integrated themselves into National Socialism.
