Abstract
As Professor Roggemann aptly demonstrates, legal concepts of ‘property’ have not been static. The function of property rights changes over time within cultures, differs from one culture to another, and depends on whether one is considering their civil (private) law or constitutional law dimension. Professor Roggemann’s survey of the development of constitutional concepts of property within the German legal system, and of private law examples within that system, provides an opportunity for comparison with the private and constitutional law dimensions of property rights in the United States legal system.
