[superstring01]

Sorry. I couldn't find the right sub-forum to put this in. But, REALLY???? Is the German High Court located at Hogwarts? WTF is with the hats?



I know I'm being culturally um . . . what's the word? But, um . . . WTFFFFFF!?

Really?

Yeah. As I said, I'm being a little prejudiced. I can't find any reason for the gaudy sartorial choices of the German High Court. Those nations with the Westminster System have a long history of wearing dumb wigs (which, BTW, I'm no less inclined to like).

I probably wouldn't've started this thread were it not for the funny hats. Those are just weird and utterly pointless. I am willing to bet there is no historical reason for them, thus, there's no point in even having them.

Well buddy, our (Canada) Supreme Court justices look like Santa save for the hat.

Amtstracht [Bearbeiten]
Roben der Richter am Bundesverfassungsgericht

In der Öffentlichkeit sind die Richter nicht zuletzt durch die scharlachroten Roben mit weißem Jabot bekannt. Mit der Etablierung des Gerichts als eigenständigem Organ wollte man dies nach außen kundtun, und die Richter bekamen die traditionelle Richtertracht der Stadt Florenz aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, die von einem Münchner Kostümbildner entworfen worden war. Die detailgetreuen Roben machen noch heute beim Anlegen die Hilfe eines Justizbeamten erforderlich und werden bei den mündlichen Verhandlungen getragen. In der Mitte der 1990er Jahre wurde eine hinsichtlich Stoffqualität und Verarbeitung modernisierte Version in Auftrag gegeben. Deren Ausführung besorgte das in Karlsruhe ansässige Schneider- und Modeatelier Zangl.

In short: The robes are modeled after the robes of Florentinian judges from the 15th century, which were originally designed by a tailor from Munich.

Since then, the robes have been modernised, in terms of fabrics and tailoring.
