Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde (1930-2019) was one of Europe’s foremost legal scholars and political thinkers. As a scholar of constitutional law and a judge on Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court (1983-1996), Böckenförde was a major contributor to contemporary debates in legal and political theory, to the conceptual framework of the modern state and its presuppositions, and to contested political issues such as the constitutional status of the state of emergency, citizenship rights, bioethical politics, and the challenges of European integration. His writings have shaped not only academic but also wider public debates from the 1950s to the present, to an extent that few European scholars can match.
