Summary/Abstract: Is it plausible to treat the Nazi legal historians as progenitors of current European legal history? Is it in particular tenable to consider Franz Wieacker (1908–1994), one of the leading Nazi jurists, as the top founding father of this discipline? Is the European legal tradition spurious? We are able to pose these questions, but not to answer them unambiguously.
