German lawyers newspaper

The Deutsche Juristen-Zeitung was a legal journal that appeared for the first time on January 1, 1896, by Otto Liebmann Berlin. In addition to the publisher Liebmann, who also acted as editor, the editors were the constitutional law teacher Paul Laband , Reich judge Melchior Stenglein and lawyer Hermann Staub . The journal was a scientifically particularly highly regarded publication.

History of the magazine up to National Socialism

The DJZ should be a general journal covering all areas of law and legal professions. According to Laband, the main topics were the general direction taken by the German science of law, fundamental court decisions that deserve general interest, important legislative projects and common interests of the class.

History of the magazine from 1933

Deutsche Juristen-Zeitung, August 1, 1934 - with the beginning of Carl Schmitt's essay “The Führer Protects Law”.

At the end of 1933, the CH Beck publishing house aryanized the publishing house of Otto Liebmann, who was persecuted as a Jew . The National Socialist functionary Hans Frank had taken possession of the paper and in May 1934 appointed Carl Schmitt as editor. The DJZ was published by CH Beck until 1936 and was then discontinued in favor of the magazine of the Academy for German Law . The Beck publishing house lost nothing as a result. He discontinued one magazine and enlarged the other (the Academy's magazine). The journal of the Academy for German Law had to be discontinued in 1945. The Deutsche Juristen-Zeitung is to be distinguished from the Jurist newspaper (JZ), which has been published by Mohr Siebeck Verlag since 1951 .
