The question of how German government agencies and ministries had been dealing with the Nazi-Past in the immediate aftermath of the war, has most recently attracted a high amount of attention. This development was stimulated by the study “Das Amt”; published in 2010, discussing the Nazi-Past of the German Foreign Office. Continuity and changes in terms of institutions and personnel have been put into the focus of the discussion as well as substantive aspects of the policy of the first post-war governments in Germany. Several federal ministries and agencies have established commissions, in order to research their own history through independent scholars. Also the Federal Ministry of Justice has chosen this way in order to learn more about its national-socialist continuities.The several articles of this volume address different aspects of the way from the Nazi-legal system to the judiciary of the early Federal Republic of Germany. A main focus is put on the development of the Federal Ministry of Justice, which was residing in the so called Rosenburg in Bonn from 1950-1973. Issue is taken with questions of personnel, like recruitment and promotion policies, but also with crucial issues of legal policy, like the development of the German Constitution after 1948/49, the legislative power in the “Third Reich” and the early Federal Republic of Germany, the prosecution of war criminals in the immediate aftermath of the war, the beginning of criminal law policy in the Ministry as well as the developments in economy and family law.The “Independent Academic Commission at the Federal Ministry of Justice for the critical study of the national socialist past”; so named by its official title, has hosted an academic symposium on April 26, 2012 in the “Kammergericht” in Berlin. The papers collected in this volume were mostly presented at that one-day symposiu. Bücher > Fachbücher > Geschichtswissenschaft > 20.

English summary: The question of how German government ministries and agencies dealt with the Nazi past during the postwar era has recently become a much discussed issue. Many departments and agencies have appointed commissions in order to have their own history investigated by independent historians. This also applies to the Federal Ministry of Justice. The papers in this volume trace development from the Nazi system of justice to the system of justice in the postwar period, focusing in particular on events in the 'Rosenburg', the first headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Justice in the Kessenich district of Bonn from 1950 to 1973. German description: Die Frage, wie die deutschen Ministerien und Behorden in der Nachkriegszeit mit der NS-Vergangenheit umgegangen sind, ist in jungster Zeit ein vieldiskutiertes Thema. Dies gilt fur die personellen und institutionellen Kontinuitaten und Bruche ebenso wie fur die inhaltlichen Aspekte der Politik. Zahlreiche Ministerien und Behorden haben dazu Kommissionen eingesetzt, um die eigene Geschichte von unabhangigen Wissenschaftlern erforschen zu lassen. Dies gilt auch fur das Bundesministerium der Justiz. Die Beitrage in diesem Band zeichnen den Weg von der NS-Justiz zur Justiz in der Nachkriegszeit nach und untersuchen dabei insbesondere die Entwicklung in der Rosenburg, dem ersten Dienstsitz des Bundesjustizministeriums im Bonner Ortsteil Kessenich von 1950 bis 1973. Angesprochen werden nicht nur Fragen, die den Personenkreis im BMJ betreffen - etwa die Kriterien und Massstabe bei Einstellung und Beforderungen -, sondern auch zentrale Themen der Rechtspolitik: die Verfassungsentwicklung nach 1948/49, die Gesetzgebung vom Dritten Reich zur Bundesrepublik, die strafrechtliche Aufarbeitung der Justizverbrechen in der Nachkriegszeit, die Anfange der Abteilung Strafrecht im BMJ sowie Entwicklungen im Gesellschafts- und Familienrecht.
