Abstract
This article critically highlights the effectiveness of the German civil tort of defamation and its remedies. It considers the development and level of immaterial damages in Germany with respect to the infringement of an individual’s personality right, analysing the significance of the recent Kachelmann case, where the highest ever compensation of 635,000 EUR in damages for pain and suffering for a defamation suit was awarded.
