Abstract:
In spite of the greatly increased role, which the law attributes to the design of individual life styles and living of elderly people, there is no special legal area known in the German legal system, such as "rights of the elderly", which is the case in the field of the youth law. Special legal regulations covering the concerns/issues of elderly people were always considered to be in danger, as they may have the potential to discrimination, either in a positive or negative way. Due to this fact, the rights of the elderly can be described as synthetic and are subject to constant changes, as can be observed within the pension act. The legal areas and legal regulations, which are of particular importance for the life style and living situations of elderly people are presented. The legal need for action regarding the special protection of vulnerable elderly people is discussed and in the further course utilized for a conception of "rights of the elderly".
