The ZLW has a longstanding tradition.
It was founded in 1929, in the pioneering time of aviation. Today it is an example for an international publication in a very specialized field of law. Compared with publications in other fields the number of copies produced appears small, but in fact the ZLW is one of the big journals in its own field.  

It is edited in three languages in a quarterly rhythm  by the Institute of Air and Space Law at the University of Cologne. The ZLW publishes contributions on German an  international air traffic law, in international space law as well as legislation, conference reports, judicial decisions on book reviews in these fields.

From the start the ZLW has been subsidized by the German Federal Ministry of Transport. Important for the legal work of this ministry is the fact that the ZLW collects and analyses the entire international material in the field. Hereby it is important that the ZLW is edited by a University Institute possessing the know-how and having the necessary neutrality and independence which is imperative for this type of work.

The editorial staff at the Institute of Air and Space Law consists of Dr. Marietta Benkö  (attorney at law) and the editorial assistants Dipl. Bibl. Denise Digrell and Dr. Ekaterini Kepetzis.
