'Republikflucht' (§§ 213, 214 StGB/DDR) - Gesetzgeberische Entwicklung, Einfluss des MfS und Gerichtspraxis am Beispiel von Sachsen

The dissertation focuses on a legal examination of §§ 213, 215 of the East German Criminal Code. It continues the work by Mohr on §213, which considered its history through 1968. This study incorporates the entire time period from 1957 to 1990, including high court jurisprudence as well as measures undertaken by the Ministry for State Security (MfS). It is supplemented by an analysis of court records from the Dresden public prosecutor’s office.
