Prussian collection of laws

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prussian collection of laws is the generic term for

  • the Law Collection for the Royal Prussian States until 1906
  • the Prussian collection of laws from 1907 to 1945.

The Prussian Collection of Laws was the official gazette for the laws and other nationally important legal norms of Prussia. It was justified by the Royal Decree on the Appearance and Sale of the New Collection of Laws of October 27, 1810 (PrGS p. 1). The issue location was the state capital Berlin .

Because some regulations that were promulgated in the Prussian Collection of Laws are still valid today or are important for the assessment of previously established legal relationships, they are referred to more frequently in legal texts. Many Prussian laws are also important in legal history. References are usually made in the form that the title of the law is named with the date of issue and then in brackets "GS" or "PrGS" (sometimes followed by a point), possibly the year (usually only if the year of promulgation by that differs from the copy) and finally the page number is set (see following examples).

The last edition of the Prussian Law Collection (No. 1/1945) appeared on Tuesday, April 17, 1945 in Berlin, which was already contested. It contained under the serial number 14592 as the only publication the "Law on the Establishment of the Budget for the Financial Year 1945" passed by the State Ministry on March 31, 1945 and drawn up by Hermann Göring , which came into force on April 1, 1945. Another issue of the year has not appeared due to the ongoing war events.
