In ancient times the jurisprudence in Schleswig-Holstein was not unified. It was based mainly on common law (not written down) with emphasis on regional interpretations in jugdement done by the people and the administrators in charge. In Neumünster the law was differently interpreted than it was in Schleswig or Lübeck, for instance. These differentiations have their basis in the political, economic, military and social history of Schleswig-Holstein, as parts of the country came under different rule at different times. When the attempt was made to issue written rules regarding jurisprudence, various aspects of regional laws were integrated. | In ancient times the jurisprudence in Schleswig-Holstein was not unified.
