English summary: Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut was among the leading jurists in Germany during the first half of the 19th century. A gifted lecturer, he was one of the defining figures at Heidelberg's faculty of law. He was not part of the Historical School of Jurisprudence surrounding Hugo and von Savigny, but rather chose to maintain an independent position. He remained distant to their anti-codification view and strict orientation towards ancient Roman law, always keeping in mind the needs of legal practice and the ideas of late secular natural law. Von Savigny rejected Thibaut's politically hopeless call for a German civil law codification and simultaneously introduced the public to the program of the Historical School. Even today, Thibaut is widely recognized only as the 'loser' of this debate. Two hundred years after these events, this volume provides the extensive reappraisal of his personality and works that is demanded. German description: Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut war in der ersten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts einer der fuhrenden Rechtswissenschaftler Deutschlands und als begnadeter akademischer Lehrer die pragende Personlichkeit der Heidelberger Juristischen Fakultat. Er bewahrte eine eigenstandige Position gegenuber der dominierenden Historischen Schule Gustav Hugos und Friedrich Carl von Savignys. Deren kodifikationsfeindliche Haltung und Ausrichtung auf das antike romische Recht blieben dem auch der juristischen Praxis und dem spaten Vernunftrecht verbundenen Thibaut fremd. Thibauts politisch ohnehin chancenlose Forderung nach einer deutschen Kodifikation des Burgerlichen Rechts wies von Savigny scharf zuruck und nutzte die Gelegenheit, das Programm der Historischen Schule publikumswirksam vorzustellen. Bis heute gilt Thibaut daher verbreitet vor allem als Verlierer' dieses Kodifikationsstreits' von 1814. 200 Jahre nach diesen Ereignissen waren Personlichkeit und Werk Thibauts umfassend neu zu wurdigen.
