Allegations of plagiarism

In 2006 he was the author of parts of a commentary on the Civil Code . As a result, several newspapers reported that a large part of this article had been copied from Palandt's commentary . The publisher Luchterhand then withdrew the book. Wirth claims that the plagiarism came about solely through a doctoral student, who was only partially named as a co-author; he had not violated his “control obligations” and he could not be accused of “scientific misconduct”. The Technical University of Darmstadt set up a commission to investigate the allegation of scientific misconduct. The rector of the Technical University of Darmstadt then gave Wirth an official reprimand. After the allegations were discussed in a book in 2010, the interest group of German university teachers, the German University Association , asked Wirth to comment. Wirth rejected the statement that the association had started an exclusion process. He then announced his departure from the association. Wirth refers to a letter from the Technical University of Darmstadt from November 2010, in which his full support and appreciation is confirmed as a member of the university. In a letter dated November 2011, it finally states that, at Wirth's express request, it is confirmed "that the allegation made against you after the completion of the aforementioned procedure concerns organizational aspects". According to the presentation on a project website of the Handelsblatt, the ombudsman of the Technical University of Darmstadt at the time stated that Wirth had not committed any copyright infringement and could therefore not be prosecuted.
