Peter Mankowski (†)

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Professor Peter Mankowski, one of Germany’s eminent private international law scholars, died on 10 February 2022 at the age of 55.

Until his death Peter Mankowski was a Professor of Private International Law at the University of Hamburg. He was the editor of several commentaries as well as the author of several monographs, a 2-volume textbook and (literally) countless law review articles covering the full range of private international law. His productivity, originality and creativity were unparalleled. But above all he was an inspiring person and a great colleague (and mentor).

His untimely death is an incredible loss for the private international law community.

Our thoughts are with his family.
