Photos in press of residences of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and his family: fair balance between right to respect for private life and
In its decision in the case of Zu Guttenberg v. Germany (application no. 14047/16) the European Court of Human Rights has unanimously declared the application inadmissible. The decision is final.
The case concerned the publication in the German press of photos of residences in Germany and in the USA belonging to Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and his family.
The Court found that the Cologne Court of Appeal had struck a fair balance between the applicant’s right to respect for his private life and the freedom of expression of the magazine Bunte , which had published the photos. In view of the margin of appreciation afforded to Contracting States in such matters, the Court saw no reason to substitute its own opinion for that of the German courts.
The applicant, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, is a German national who was born in 1971 and lives in Guttenberg (Germany).
