Goltdammer's Archive for Criminal Law is an academic journal. The short title Goltdammers Archiv or the abbreviation GA is also in use .

Goltdammer's archive is the oldest criminal law journal in Germany. It was founded in 1853 by the judge Theodor Goltdammer , who had been working at the Prussian Upper Tribunal since 1852 , the highest court in the Kingdom of Prussia. The first edition still had the long title Archive for Prussian Criminal Law. Published by Goltdammer, Königl. Ober-Tribunalrath , but Goltdammer's archive has always been used as a short title . The full title of the journal has been changed several times, and there were also individual years in which no issue was published, but regardless of the renaming and interruptions, the volumes of the journal have been numbered consecutively since the first year in 1853.

Initially the magazine was published by the Deckerschen Oberhofbuchdruckerei ; today it is published by C. F. Müller . According to the publisher, the print run was 700 copies in January 2020.

Digital copies from older years up to 1932 are freely available on the Internet.

history

Title of the magazine, volume count, digital copies

In the course of time, the magazine changed its name several times and thus reflects the legal and political developments of those years. With the transfer of the Prussian Criminal Code into the Criminal Code of the North German Confederation and finally into the Reich Criminal Code in 1871, the magazine was given the title Archive for Common German and Prussian Criminal Law . A few years later, in 1880, the title was changed to Archives for Criminal Law .

From 1934 to 1944 the magazine appeared under the title German Criminal Law. Criminal law. Criminal law policy. Criminal trial as a supplement to the German justice system and was published by Roland Freisler . The publication was interrupted between 1945 and 1952. Since 1953, exactly 100 years after it was founded, the magazine has been published under its current title.

The magazine had the following titles:

  1. To give an arbitrary example: In the famous Rose-Rosahl decision , the Prussian Upper Tribunal cites the magazine with the short title, volume number and page number (“Goltdammers Archiv II p. 96”). The Rose-Rosahl decision itself was also printed in Goltdammer's archive: GA 7 (1859), p. 322, p. 332 .
