Abstract
Summary This miscellany reviews a substantial contribution to the research on German judicature and legal culture in the early 19th century by legal historian Clara Günzl: “Eine andere Geschichte der Begründungspflicht. Sichtweisen des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts” (2021). Her solid reconstruction is far more convincing than the older contribution of Stephan Hocks: “Gerichtsgeheimnis und Begründungszwang” (2002). The second part of the miscellany outlines that nevertheless further research has to be conducted to understand the development from a cross-epochal point of view, especially concerning the function of the so called Aktenversendung (transmissio actorum) to the law faculties of the German universities.
