Veräußerbaren

Veräußerbaren is a German legal term that translates to "alienable" or "transferable" in English. It describes property or rights that can be legally sold, given away, or otherwise transferred from one person or entity to another. The concept of veräußerbarkeit is fundamental in property law and contract law, as it dictates the conditions under which ownership and rights can change hands.

Generally, most forms of private property are considered veräußerbar. This includes tangible assets like real estate, vehicles, and personal possessions, as well as intangible assets such as intellectual property rights, stocks, and bonds. The ability to alienate these assets is crucial for a functioning market economy, allowing for the exchange of goods and services and the efficient allocation of resources.

However, certain rights or properties may be explicitly non-veräußerbar, meaning they cannot be transferred. These exceptions are typically established by law to protect specific interests or maintain social order. For instance, certain personal rights, such as the right to life or freedom, are inherently inalienable. In some legal systems, certain types of public property or essential utilities might also have restrictions on their transferability to ensure public access and control. The specific limitations on veräußerbarkeit vary significantly depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the right or property in question.
