Allgemeines bürgerliches Gesetzbuch

The General civil code (German: Allgemeines bürgerliches Gesetzbuch or ABGB) is the Civil Code of Austria, which after about 40 years of preparatory work was published on 1 June 1811 and came into force on 1 January 1812.

Comparable to the Napoleonic code, it was based on the ideals of freedom and equality before the law.

Despite fact that some parts were in effect until 1964, the civil code had never been translated and published in Czech.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was partially introduced after 1878, and some parts are still in use, even after this country's independence.
