Abstract

This article deals with the recent history of the private law of an in-between space that has not yet been the subject of detailed legal historical study, namely the history of the private law of Nordschleswig/Southern Jutland/Sønderjylland. The Duchy of Schleswig was ceded by Denmark to Prussia and Austria in 1864 and annexed by Prussia in 1866. In 1920, after a plebiscite, the northern part of Schleswig reverted to Denmark. Thus Schleswig changed national affiliation twice – in the same way and at the same time as Elsaß-Lothringen/Alsace-Lorraine/Alsace-Moselle did. This may have favoured the emergence of a local private law culture – comparable to the local law in eastern France, which is still in force today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
