Summary/Abstract: The biography of an Austrian specialist in Roman law, Paul Koschaker (1879–1951), who spent the Nazi-time as an elderly professor at important law faculties of Germany, such as Leipzig, Berlin and Tubingen, is reexamined. Recent attempts of image cultivation, which try to acclaim Koschaker the most courageous fighter against every form of totalitarianism in Europe and nearly the patron saint for European jurists, are proved unjustified.
