Summary/Abstract: Are we entitled to consider the exiled German legal historians of Jewish origin, Fritz Pringsheim, Fritz Schulz and David Daube, on equal footing with Franz Wieacker, Paul Koschaker and Helmut Coing as founding fathers of the shared European legal tradition? In this way, the asylum seekers would be equated with the perpetrators or profiteers of their expulsion. But first of all: have the exiled actually contributed something to this “shared” legal history?
