Summary/Abstract: Antitrust law first came to Germany in 1947, while the building of an antitrust framework was constitutive of the forming of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951 – the first step towards the creation of a European Community. However, during the first ten years, these two developments remained only loosely coupled. After1957, a year marked both by the passing of the first German antitrust act and the signing of the Treaty of Rome, the German and European antitrust stories became much more closely interconnected.
