Summary/Abstract: The idea of legal and constitutional adaptation of registered partnership underwent in the Czech Republic and Germany through wide open, social and political discussion. Both countries have gone through a ten-year-long history concerned with efforts to enact living-together persons of the equal sex in legal order. Both adaptations are possible to subordinate according to so called Danish model of alternative forms of living together. However, this is the only part of likeness of both legal adaptations. Further features are dealt in the article in comparison with various differences between Czech and German adaptations. A big specific feature in the Czech adaptation is the assumption of at least one participated person having the Czech nationality and a special competence of the registry office.
