Summary/Abstract: It could be shown that fundamental rights play a vital role in private law. Generally, they are not applied directly, but they have to be taken into account when it comes to the interpretation of provisions governing the private law relations between two persons. Art. 16 of the Civil Code serves as a gateway for the influence of fundamental rights in private law.
