Eberhard Schmidt

Zusatztext

Eberhard Schmidt (1891-1977) was a lawyer in the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi State, and finally in the Federal Republic of Germany. He is primarily perceived as the founder of medical criminal law and as disciple of Franz von Liszt, who continued Liszt's textbook and introduced Liszt's ideas into the criminal law reform of the 1950s. Schmidt's "Introduction to the History of the German Criminal Justice System" has been read by generations of young lawyers and shaped their view of criminal law history. After 1945, Schmidt turned to criminal procedure and his monumental commentary on the Code of Criminal Procedure is still considered an epoch-making academic achievement. The contributions here assembled examine what of Schmidt's work is of lasting value from today's perspective.
