Abstract

García-Pelayo's writings cannot be understood without Germany and Austria. The state thinking of the first president of the Constitutional Court is deeply imbued by German writings. From the 1930s to the 1980s, García-Pelayo never stopped focusing on Austria and Germany. This paper tries to demonstrate it. For that, the article exposes the thinking of twelve Austrian and German authors and how their ideas and concepts influence the published and unpublished García-Pelayo’s writings. This influence is so great that García-Pelayo can be perfectly qualified as a «German thinker of the state».
