After studying at the Free University of Berlin , the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer , Picker received his doctorate in Bonn in 1971 with the thesis "The negatorial elimination claim" with his teacher Werner Flume , with whom he worked from 1969 to 1978 assistant. In 1978 Picker was habilitated at the University of Bonn with his work "The third party contradiction suit in its historical development as an example of the interaction of substantive law and procedural law" and received the Venia Legendi for civil law, civil procedural law, Roman law and the history of modern private law. In the further course of his academic activities, Picker devoted himself increasingly to collective labor law and the problem of so-called " wrongful life ". He is characterized, especially in general civil law, by fundamental dogmatic work. Many of his works have been translated into Japanese, Polish, Italian and - currently planned - into Russian.
