German Law in Hungary in the Middle Ages
The paper consists of three consistent parts. The first part is devoted to the German colonists, who were carriers of German culture on the Hungarian territory in the Middle Ages. Furthermore, the German settlements in various regions and cities of medieval Hungary - Tsipse, Transylvania, Pesht and Ofen are considered here. The second part describes sources of the Hungarian town law in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the New Time. These are three Hungarian monuments of the legal thought: 1) „The Ofen legal collection“, 2) „The Right of Tavernik“ and 3) „The customary law of the renowned kingdom of Hungary in three parts of Stephen Werböczy“. The third part analyzes the influence of German medieval legal source on the basement of all three mentioned sources.
