The
Codex Maximilianeus bavaricus civilis is a
civil code enacted in the Duchy of
Bavaria in 1756. It was written in
German language, but included many
Latin phrases. In its content, it adhered to the
Usus modernus Pandectarum more strongly than later
codification projects. It remained in force in Bavaria until the enactment of the German
Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) on
January 1,
1900.
