Abstract
Abstract The Code as Message? Call for a Different Legislative History. The contribution examines the history of codification from a new perspective. The focus is not on the perspective of the legislator but rather on the perspective of those subjected to the laws. For, in fact, it is them who decide on the fate of the codification. Thus, a painstaking – and often tedious – history of impact should complete, that is replace the hitherto common and less complex textual history. Only such a history of impact enables more differentiated statements about the fate and importance of the code, for which a few examples are given.
