  abstract  = {Der Staat im Recht - getragen vom und gebunden durch das Recht, orientiert an Gemeinwohl und Individualrechten gleichermaßen - ist Gegenstand und Ziel des wissenschaftlichen Wirkens von Eckart Klein. Eckart Klein, dessen 70. Geburtstag Anlass zu dieser Festschrift ist, hat sich als Rechtswissenschaftler dem {\"O}ffentlichen Recht in seiner ganzen Bandbreite gewidmet, wobei die T{\"a}tigkeit am Heidelberger Max-Planck-Institut f{\"u}r ausl{\"a}ndisches {\"o}ffentliches Recht und V{\"o}lkerrecht und die Zeit als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Bundesverfassungsgericht seine Interessen nachhaltig gepr{\"a}gt und fokussiert haben. Wichtige Themen seiner Publikationst{\"a}tigkeit w{\"a}hrend seiner gesamten wissenschaftlichen Laufbahn sind dementsprechend das Verfassungsprozessrecht, das allgemeine V{\"o}lkerrecht, das Recht der internationalen Organisationen und der internationale Menschenrechtsschutz. Nach einer Station an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universit{\"a}t in Mainz wechselte er an die Universit{\"a}t Potsdam. Hier gr{\"u}ndete er auch das MenschenRechtsZentrum der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam, dem er als Direktor vorstand. Der Jurist erg{\"a}nzte seine T{\"a}tigkeit als Hochschullehrer durch die Wahrnehmung von Richter{\"a}mtern an den Oberverwaltungsgerichten in Koblenz und Frankfurt (Oder) sowie am Staatsgerichtshof in Bremen. Außerdem war er Mitglied des Menschenrechtsausschusses der Vereinten Nationen und wirkte mehrfach als deutscher Ad-hoc-Richter an Verfahren vor dem Europ{\"a}ischen Gerichtshof f{\"u}r Menschenrechte mit. Dass bei alldem die akademische Lehre nicht zu kurz kam, war f{\"u}r Eckart Klein oberstes Gebot. Sch{\"u}ler und Weggef{\"a}hrten haben in dieser Festschrift Beitr{\"a}ge aus den Bereichen des V{\"o}lkerrechts, des Europarechts und des nationalen Rechts versammelt, um die Position des Staates im Recht aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln auszuloten, Grenzen staatlichen Handelns zu markieren und nach Maßst{\"a}ben f{\"u}r hoheitliche Entscheidungen zu fragen.},

  abstract  = {Large Central European flood events of the past have demonstrated that flooding can affect several river basins at the same time leading to catastrophic economic and humanitarian losses that can stretch emergency resources beyond planned levels of service. For Germany, the spatial coherence of flooding, the contributing processes and the role of trans-basin floods for a national risk assessment is largely unknown and analysis is limited by a lack of systematic data, information and knowledge on past events. This study investigates the frequency and intensity of trans-basin flood events in Germany. It evaluates the data and information basis on which knowledge about trans-basin floods can be generated in order to improve any future flood risk assessment. In particu-lar, the study assesses whether flood documentations and related reports can provide a valuable data source for understanding trans-basin floods. An adaptive algorithm was developed that systematically captures trans-basin floods using series of mean daily discharge at a large number of sites of even time series length (1952-2002). It identifies the simultaneous occurrence of flood peaks based on the exceedance of an initial threshold of a 10 year flood at one location and consecutively pools all causally related, spatially and temporally lagged peak recordings at the other locations. A weighted cumulative index was developed that accounts for the spatial extent and the individual flood magnitudes within an event and allows quantifying the overall event severity. The parameters of the method were tested in a sensitivity analysis. An intensive study on sources and ways of information dissemination of flood-relevant publications in Germany was conducted. Based on the method of systematic reviews a strategic search approach was developed to identify relevant documentations for each of the 40 strongest trans-basin flood events. A novel framework for assessing the quality of event specific flood reports from a user's perspective was developed and validated by independent peers. The framework was designed to be generally applicable for any natural hazard type and assesses the quality of a document addressing accessibility as well as representational, contextual, and intrinsic dimensions of quality. The analysis of time-series of mean daily discharge resulted in the identification of 80 trans-basin flood events within the period 1952-2002 in Germany. The set is dominated by events that were recorded in the hydrological winter (64\%); 36\% occurred during the summer months. The occurrence of floods is characterised by a distinct clustering in time. Dividing the study period into two sub-periods, we find an increase in the percentage of winter events from 58\% in the first to 70.5\% in the second sub-period. Accordingly, we find a significant increase in the number of extreme trans-basin floods in the second sub-period. A large body of 186 flood relevant documentations was identified. For 87.5\% of the 40 strongest trans-basin floods in Germany at least one report has been found and for the most severe floods a substantial amount of documentation could be obtained. 80\% of the material can be considered grey literature (i.e. literature not controlled by commercial publishers). The results of the quality assessment show that the majority of flood event specific reports are of a good quality, i.e. they are well enough drafted, largely accurate and objective, and contain a substantial amount of information on the sources, pathways and receptors/consequences of the floods. The inclusion of this information in the process of knowledge building for flood risk assessment is recommended. Both the results as well as the data produced in this study are openly accessible and can be used for further research. The results of this study contribute to an improved spatial risk assessment in Germany. The identified set of trans-basin floods provides the basis for an assessment of the chance that flooding occurs simultaneously at a number of sites. The information obtained from flood event documentation can usefully supplement the analysis of the processes that govern flood risk.},
