After 1933, approximately 1,000 German-Jewish emigrants came to Türkiye – a considerable portion of whom consisted of scholars, professionals, and artists. Among them were five jurists: Ernst Eduard Hirsch, Andreas Bertalan Schwarz, Karl Strupp, Richard Martin Honig, and Oscar Weigert. Additionally, the well-known Romanist, Paul Koschaker, worked there; although he was not a German-Jewish exiled jurist, he came to Türkiye via Schwarz. These six legal scholars made decisive contributions so that the Western European legal system, received in the young republic since 1926, could establish itself. To date – apart from Honig and, to some extent, Hirsch – their concrete influence on Turkish law and on subsequent generations of jurists has not yet been systematically examined. In order to close this research gap, an international symposium marking the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye (October 29, 2023) was held in Göttingen from September 13 to 15, 2024. The present edited volume contains the resulting essays.
