!!!Urkunden

Documents: 1) In civil law, all legally relevant facts evidenced in 
writing (e.g. passports, driving licences, passenger tickets and 
admission tickets, etc.). Forging of documents is a punishable offence 
(§ 223 Penal Code). 2) Historic instruments (especially 
since the Middle Ages) evidencing legally relevant events and 
transactions and complying with certain formalities. A distinction is 
made between imperial (royal), papal and private documents, and, 
according to their legal contents, diplomas and mandates. In order to 
guarantee existing legal titles, numerous documents ( Privilegium 
maius) have been forged throughout history.
