Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, abbreviated ABGB, in Polish literature sometimes as the Universal Civil Code-an Austrian civil code of 1811, drafted by Franz Zeiller. It received imperial sanction on June 1, 1811. It was created on the basis of the West Galician Civil Code and was based on the legal-natural principles of free property and freedom of contract. It constituted one of the so-called great codifications of the 19th century. In addition to regulations typical of capitalism, it contained many feudal relics.
In addition to a brief introduction, the ABGB included three sections: personal law, property law and provisions common to personal and property law. The ABGB featured, among other things, the presumption of live birth and the institution of declaring a missing person dead. In terms of contract law, the ABGB provided, among other things, that an employer could give binding recommendations and directions to an employee. It provided for the institution of retainer. It regulated contractual inheritance and provided for the irrevocability of an inheritance contract.
It was created under the strong influence of the doctrine of the law of nature and some approaches of the earlier French Code of 1804. In terms of legislative technique as well as content, it was far superior to the feudal Prussian Landrecht. The influence of Roman law was also strong. This code was highly responsive to the needs of the time and therefore survived without major changes until the 20th century. It was only during World War I that it underwent a major revision: The 1st amendment of 1914 - changes in the area of personal, inheritance and property law, the 2nd amendment of 1915 - contained corrigenda concerning the change of borders, the 3rd amendment of 1916 - changed some provisions of contract law. In the area of Galicia annexed to Poland, its last provisions expired on January 1, 1947. In Austria and Liechtenstein, it is still in force today.
