Handbuch Persönlichkeitsrecht

About the work: Starting from the foundations of personality rights and their significance within the legal system, all constitutional, civil, and criminal law implications of this important legal asset are presented. The individual personality rights are examined in detail, such as the right to one's own image, the right to a name, the moral rights of authors, the right to one's own voice, and the right to one's own life portrayal, each of which has close connections to the general personality right frequently referenced in tort law. An important part of the presentation is dedicated to the limits of personality rights, such as freedom of opinion and the press, as well as artistic freedom, where practical cases often lead to challenging balancing questions with personality rights, necessitating the delineation of the boundaries of fundamental rights.
