Features: Professor Jacobus was born on November 24, 1934. He studied civil law under Professor Werner Furrmüller. In 1963, he obtained his doctorate with the thesis "Acquisition of Possession and Transfer of Property in the Theory of Unjust Enrichment." In 1969, he published "Anakolutheia and Non-Performance" and earned the qualification to teach at the University of Bonn with this book. From 1976 to March 2000, he served as a professor of Roman and Civil Law at the University of Bonn. Professor Jacobus's other significant works include: "Legislation on the Law of Performance Obstacles," a monograph published by Ferdinand Sch?ningh Verlag in 1985; "Collected Works of Werner Furrmüller," edited together, Cologne, 1988; "Collected Essays in Memory of Brigitta Knobloch Koch," edited together, Cologne, 1997; "Lectures on the 50th Anniversary of Friedrich Alexander Mann's Doctorate," edited together, Bonn, 1982; and a series of edited books with Werner Schubert, published from 1978 to 2002. "German Civil Law Science and Legislation in the 19th Century" is one of the representative academic achievements of modern German civil law and belongs to the "Background Series" of modern German legal classics. China's legal system follows the civil law tradition, and German civil law has had a significant influence on the development of China's legal system and jurisprudence. Many of today's legal and academic approaches in China remain closely linked to German law. This book elaborates on the emergence of 19th-century German civil law, providing a detailed analysis of the historical impact of the Historical School of Law and the Pandects School at the time. In Chapter 5, it examines some characteristics of the "German Civil Code," and in the postscript, it discusses issues related to property rights contracts.
