At the Federal Archives in Koblenz, where the files of the Federal Constitutional Court are stored, historian Eva Balz is researching the biographies of the first 42 judges of the Federal Constitutional Court. Some of them – like the first president, Hermann Höpker-Aschoff, and Willi Geiger – had a Nazi past, while others – like Georg Fröhlich – were victims of the Nazi regime. However, this apparently did not hinder their collaboration at the Federal Constitutional Court. 📌 Since 1951, the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe has monitored compliance with the Basic Law. The "journey to Karlsruhe" is a symbol of democracy and the rule of law in Germany. The short films show how the "Citizens' Court" was founded and the issues and concerns it addresses. #LawandLegislation #FederalConstitutionalCourt #SWR #PlanetSchool --------------- 🎬 More on the topic of "Law and Legislation": https://www.planet-schule.de/schwerpu... ⁉ WEB: https://planet-schule.de 📧 NEWSLETTER: https://www.planet-schule.de/sf/servi... ⁉️ X:   / swrbildung   🤝 SWR NETIQUETTE: https://www.swr.de/home/netiquette-10... ❗ IMPRINT: https://www.swr.de/impressum/
