Lex Adickes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lex Adickes is the common name of the Prussian law on the reallocation of land in Frankfurt am Main of July 28, 1902. It is named after Franz Adickes , the then mayor of Frankfurt , and was a milestone in public building law in Germany.

history

After Prussia annexed the Free City of Frankfurt in 1866, the city's population rose sharply within a few decades. To facilitate the associated urban planning and urban development tasks, Adickes first introduced a bill in 1892/93 on urban expansion and zone expropriation , which, under certain circumstances, provided for the compulsory reallocation of land from different owners and zone expropriation in order to deal with speculative property transactions and the associated price increase for building land prevent and accelerate the development of new building areas.

The draft law was adopted with changes in the Prussian manor house , but failed in the House of Representatives due to concerns about the possible expropriation it envisaged.

A new draft from December 1899 therefore focused on reallocation and land consolidation. It was adopted on July 28, 1902.

The Prussian law on the reallocation of land in Frankfurt am Main was revised in 1907 and remained in force until the Federal Building Act of June 29, 1960 came into force.

Principles

  • The assignment is for the sake of the public good to make
  • It takes place at the request of the city authorities or of more than half of the affected owners if they own more than half of the affected areas
  • Public areas (streets and squares) are eliminated in advance and transferred to the city
  • The remaining area is distributed among the owners in the form of ordered building sites according to the proportion of the areas brought in
  • The assigned building sites should be in the same location as the land to be replaced, if possible, impairments and the proportion of public space may have to be replaced
