- German
The Grundgesetz - which means "Basic Law" - was introduced in 1949 as the legal foundation of the newly founded Federal Republic of Germany, in lieu of a constitution. It was supposed to be supplanted by a Verfassung (constitution) eventually (I believe upon the reunification of East and West Germany), but this never happened and the Grundgesetz remains in place. So effectively, the Grundgesetz is the name for the German Verfassung (constitution).
