This paper deals with legal transplants during the Napoleonic era in Germany. Among the manv changes introduced in the French 'model klngdom' of Westphalia, founded in 1806, were the introduction of the Code Napoléon and a complete reorganization of the judiciarv. One of the institutions severely affected by these developments was the venerable University of Göttingen with its ancient privileges and royal prerogatives. The famous Romanist und founder of the Historical School Gustav Hugo, was at its helm during the most turbulent phase of this reorganization. His achievements as vice rector are the subject of the second part of the paper.
