Abstract
On 26 February 2020, the German Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) delivered a judgement, declaring § 217 (prohibition of assisted suicide services) of the German Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch) void. In the judgement (the author thanks Mr. Jure Bergant for preparing studies, necessary for this paper) the given German incrimination of assisting in suicide were declared against German constitutional principles of the autonomy of the individual and its freedom of developing his or her personality, including terminating it in a suicide with help of others.
