Life

In 1969, Roßnagel obtained the general university entrance qualification at the Karl-Friedrich-Gymnasium in Mannheim . He then studied law and received his doctorate in law in 1981 . From 1984 to 1992 he was a professor at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences . Since 1986 he has also been the scientific head of the project group constitutionally compatible technology design ( provet ) at the University of Kassel, which carries out interdisciplinary research projects on legal issues relating to information and communication technologies . Since 1988 he has also been a deputy member of the State Court of Baden-Württemberg.

In 1995/96 he received an endowed professorship for interdisciplinary studies at the Center for Interdisciplinary Technology Research at the Technical University of Darmstadt.

In 2001, together with Hansjürgen Garstka and Andreas Pfitzmann , Roßnagel prepared an expert opinion on the modernization of German data protection law . The suggestions of the three experts were received positively in specialist circles. However, the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which commissioned the report, did not implement the proposals.

In 2003 he and other authors prepared an expert opinion in the field of media law for access to digital satellite broadcasting.

In 2010 he worked as an expert in the process of data retention before the Federal Constitutional Court.

In 2019 he received a senior professorship at the University of Kassel.

One of his students is Gerrit Hornung , who after a four-year professorship at the University of Passau is now also a professor at the University of Kassel.
