The joint event of the Legal Iconography Working Group (Arbeitskreises Rechtsikonographie) and the Heidelberg Legal History Society (Heidelberger Rechtshistorische Gesellschaft) will focus on topics of legal iconography from the Middle Ages to modern times and is dedicated to the memory of Clausdieter Schott (1936-2023).
