This academic work scrutinizes the prevailing notion that private ownership in land evolved from a primitive system of communal land ownership, particularly in the context of Germanic societies and their legal traditions. The book rigorously engages with historical documents and legal codes to challenge the arguments supporting the communal ownership theory posited by earlier scholars like Maurer. The opening of the work presents a detailed critique of the agrarian communism theory, outlining how various historians and theorists argued that early societies cultivated land collectively before transitioning to private property. Rather than concede to this idea, Fustel sets out to verify the scholarly evidence used to support it, highlighting contradictions within these theories. He emphasizes that early German law reflects a system of private ownership rather than communal participation and suggests that what appears to be community ownership may actually indicate a familial or individual landholding, thus laying a foundation for the assertion of private property over communal rights.
