In their attempt to cross the inner-German border, more than 100 unarmed people were shot by GDR border guards between 1961 and 1989 or died in direct connection with the GDR border regime.
\nAfter the fall of the Wall, both former \u00bbMauersch\u00fctzen\u00ab and those politically and militarily responsible for the \u00bbshoot-to-kill\u00ab order of the SED regime were sentenced by German criminal courts.
\nIn its highly regarded \u00bbMauersch\u00fctzen\u00ab decision, the Federal Constitutional Court upheld several criminal court rulings (decision of October 24, 1996 – 2 BvR 1851\/94 et al.). The Constitutional Court found in favor of the law that the use of firearms was also punishable under GDR law and did not consider the conviction to be a violation of the retroactivity requirement (Article 103 II of the Grundgesetz).
\nProfessor Emanuel V. Towfigh, Chair of Public Law, Empirical Legal Research and Legal Economics at the EBS University of Economics and Law, recalls this fundamental leading decision and embeds it in its context:<\/p>\n

  • What was the practice of GDR firearms use at the inner-German border?<\/li>\n
  • What were the legal bases for the use of firearms at the inner-German border under GDR law?<\/li>\n
  • Why were the Mauersch\u00fctzen and those behind them punished under the criminal law of the Federal Republic of Germany?<\/li>\n
  • What does the prohibition of retroactivity (Article 103 II of the Grundgesetz) mean?<\/li>\n
  • Why is there an exception to the prohibition of retroactivity in the present case?<\/li>\n
  • How does Radbruch’s formula come into play here?<\/li>\n
  • How should the decision be classified?<\/li>\n

    In the Smartbook Grundrechte<\/a> by Professor Towfigh and Alexander Gleixner, you will find systematic explanations of the prohibition of retroactivity, the Mauersch\u00fctzen case, and the other fundamental rights of justice.
    \nYou can find a detailed treatment of the Mauersch\u00fctzen decision on the Jurafuchs learning platform (    here<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
