Baden Land Law 1622
The Baden Landrecht of 1622 was drafted on the initiative of Margrave Georg Friedrich von Baden-Durlach for the Margraviates of Baden-Durlach and Baden-Baden , which were temporarily united during the occupation of Upper Baden , and was first printed in 1622. Due to the turmoil of the Thirty Years War , it was only put into effect in 1654 and only for the Baden-Durlach and was only officially replaced by the Baden land law of 1810 .
history
When Georg Friedrich took over the rule of the two margraviates of Baden in 1604, after the death of his brother Ernst Friedrich , he was determined to unite the country permanently. The creation of a common law should also serve this purpose.
In the margraviate of Baden-Baden, Margrave Philip II had issued a land law on January 2, 1588 , but this was not printed at the time and was therefore probably never really effective. It was not until 1805 that this law was included in a printed collection.
Georg Friedrich also relied on the Electoral Palatinate in this area - as in politics - and largely took over its land rights from 1582. The work, which was completed in 1619, was not printed until 1622 - shortly before Georg Friedrich's abdication. In 1654 his son and successor Friedrich had the land law reprinted and put it into effect for the margraviate of Baden-Durlach. In 1710 and 1773 the law was reissued, which indicates that it was actually applied.
The law was valid until it was replaced in 1810 by the new land law , which largely corresponded to the French Civil Code .
