Abstract

On 7th October 2008 the ECHR declared inadmissible an application submitted by Preußische Treuhand GmbH & Co. KG a. A. against Poland. The applicant company claimed – on behalf of 23 individual applicants – that Poland violated Article 1 of the Protocol No. 1 to ECHR by illegal expropriation of German property located within the former German territories east from the Oder-Neisse line which after the World War II were transferred to Poland. This paper examines the essential questions of international public law that arise from this case as to the admissibility of the claim.

Keywords: Preussische Treuhand, Germany, restitution, ECHR, expropriation
