Great mourning
Former Constitutional Court President Ludwig Adamovich is dead
The former President of the Constitutional Court (VfGH), Ludwig Adamovich, passed away on Sunday at the age of 91. This was announced by the Supreme Court in the afternoon.
Adamovich was President of the Constitutional Court for 19 years - from 1984 to 2002. After the end of his term of office, Adamovich was an honorary advisor on constitutional issues to the then Federal President Heinz Fischer and the current Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen.
Tireless admonisher
Constitutional Court President Christoph Grabenwarter praised Adamovich as a tireless admonisher for the democratic constitutional state: "From Austria's historical experience, the independence of constitutional jurisdiction was of particular concern to him."
The Supreme Court has thus once again had to mourn the death of a former President within a short space of time: the former President of the Constitutional Court and Austria's first female Federal Chancellor, Brigitte Bierlein, died at the age of 74 at the beginning of June.
