history

The journal for public law was founded in 1914 by Edmund Bernatzik, Max Hussarek, Heinrich Lammasch and Adolf Menzel at the suggestion of Hans Kelsen, who also worked for many years as editor for the journal. The original title was Austrian Journal of Public Law , at the beginning of the Republic in Journal of Public Law has been changed. In 1948 the magazine began to appear again under the original title, which was expanded to include the Austrian magazine for public law and international law in 1977 at the suggestion of Alfred Verdross . The increasing internationality was taken into account with the subtitle Austrian Journal of Public and International Law . It was not until 1980 that Alfred Verdross, who had already co-edited the magazine with Hans Kelsen, ended his activity as editor, in which Karl Zemanek supported him for many years. Ignaz Seidl-Hohenveldern ran the magazine from 1981 to 1990. From 1991 to 1995 the journal appeared under the former subtitle Austrian Journal of Public and International Law in mainly English, edited by Christoph Schreuer. Since 1996, the magazine has been published again under its traditional name Zeitschrift für public Rechts , until 2009 under the editorship of Heinz Schäffer, from 2009 to 2019 under that of Stefan Griller and Benjamin Kneihs. In 2014 the ZöR celebrated its 100th anniversary with a special issue (4/2014). In 2020 the editorship was handed over to András Jakab and Sebastian Schmid.
