Tradition mit Zukunft? – Das Anerbenrecht
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Graß, Christiane
The right of inheritance in agriculture is characterised by the fact that it grants privileges to an agricultural holding, which is not the case found in ‘common’ inheritance law. These privileges or special arrangements are designed to ensure the survival of the farm by ensuring only one legacy to prevent the disruption or sale of the farm. The right to inher-itance finds its explanation and justification in history, starting at the Middle Ages and which has retained its regional connection to date. Today, the right of inheritance is a mo-saic of regional regulations which are questioned in the light of structural changes in agriculture (the end of family farms) and of the principle of equality.
