Starting in the 18th century, some law professors at German universities taught both criminal law and the law of nations. Here, the focus is on how the new disciplines appeared in the university curricula during the 18th and 19th centuries. This configuration of professors teaching both subjects (whether at the same time or consecutively) is specific to Germany and provokes certain questions. How did these new disciplines emerge at German universities? Why were some professors asked to teach both subjects during their careers? Does this linkage between the two produce scientific outcomes that likely explain particular characteristics and features of criminal law and the law of nations in German legal science?
