Resumo

This paper explains how the reception of the Weimar Constitution in the Spanish-speaking world began with the discussion of the Peruvian case in the 1920s. Arthur Schmidt (doctoral student of Richard Thoma in Heidelberg) and Friedhelm von Rauchhaupt (professor in Heidelberg) argued that the Peruvian Constitution of 1920 was inspired by the Weimar Constitution. This prompted Peruvian and German scholars in the 1930s to discuss whether this early transatlantic reception really existed. Parallel to this transatlantic discussion, the Weimar Constitution was commented on in Peru in the works of Manuel Vicente Villarán and León Barandiarán between 1919 and 1939.
