Die privatrechtliche Verantwortung der Sportvereine und Sportverbände für die körperliche Integrität der Sportler

'The Private-Law Responsibility of Sports Clubs and Sports Federations for the Physical Integrity of Athletes': Organised sport exposes participants to exceptional risks to bodily integrity, while the law regards participation as a voluntarily assumed risk. This study offers the first comprehensive analysis of the private-law responsibility of sports clubs and governing bodies under German law. It examines its normative foundations and scope, distinguishes it from athletes' own responsibility, and identifies its role in the legal relationships of organised sport.
