»Dependents's Pain Compensation«: German civil law has been extended to include the right to Dependents's pain compensation. Thus, for the first time, there is a claim to non-material compensation for the infliction of emotional suffering. The thesis examines the conditions for entitlement to Dependents's pain compensation. In addition to the group of persons entitled to Dependents's pain compensation, the thesis deals in particular with the question of the extent to which non-material compensation in money can be assessed on the basis of the death of a close person.
