Bilingual Civil Code (BGB) – “Book 1: General Part” and “Book 2: Law of Obligations” (modernized)
When the Act to Modernise the Law of Obligations (Schuldrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz) entered into force on 1 January 2002, this marked the most sweeping reform of the German Civil Code or Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch since it was enacted on 1 January 1900. The following is a bilingual edition of those provisions of the BGB’s Book 1 (General Part) and Book 2 (Law of Obligations) which are affected by the reform. Some unaltered provisions were added to this translation for context, whereas some minor alterations to less central provisions are only mentioned as such without having been reproduced. The English translation by Geoffrey Thomas and Gerhard Dannemann was made possible through the generous support of the Zeit-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius.
