The Codex Maximilianeus bavaricus civilis was a civil code enacted in the Electorate of Bavaria in 1756. It was drafted entirely by the Bavarian chancellor Wiguläus von Kreittmayr and named after the elector Maximilian III Joseph. Written in German but retaining many Latin phrases, it followed the Usus modernus Pandectarum more closely than later codification projects did, and it remained in force in Bavaria until the German Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch took effect on 1 January 1900.
