Abstract:

This volume presents the lectures written for the academic memorial service for Michael Stolleis (1941–2021) on June 24, 2022. They pay tribute to the many facets of the jurist and historian, the scientist as well as the university teacher. Tying in with his work, some essays shed light on the academic history of "German international law" or the history of colonial law; others highlight his great importance for European colleagues. Yet through all the contributions runs one basic idea: that legal history and legal histories inseparably belong together, as Stolleis masterfully demonstrated in his last book bearing the title "recht erzählen" (2021). Thus, personal recollections of friends and academic companions sustain the memory of an unique narrator of law. Michael Stolleis himself also has his say once again in a reprinted conversation about fathers, educational paths and contemporaneity.
