Establishment of Autonomous Foundations Based on German Private Law

Summary/Abstract: The article describes the procedure which establishes autonomous foundations of private law in Germany. The author discusses issues connected with the drafting, legal character and content of a founding act and the status of such foundations. The acquisition of legal personhood by a foundation is also discussed. Moreover, the study mentions the question of recognizing the existence of the so-called pre-foundation (G. Vorstiftung), that is a foundation within an organization – an issue which is still being debated by foundation law doctrine specialists.
