Abstract

German civil law, which is characterised by a high level of abstraction in its legal provisions, does not provide explicit legal basis for the protection of personal rights. Nonetheless, over the last decades, the protection of personal rights, especially the protection of the right of self-determination with regard to personal information, has become an important issue in German legal practice. The article deals with an analysis of the legal foundation of personal rights under German law. A particular focus is put on the different mechanisms to ensure genuine respect for personal rights in the context of criminal proceedings.
