This paper begins with an introduction to the concept of Gefährdungshaftung (liability of dangerous activity) in German legal theory; then it turns to a discussion on whether it is proper to characterize articles 191-1, 191-2, and 191-3 of Civil Code of Taiwan R.O.C. as a basis of Gefährdungshaftung. The former part highlights the legislative history, the reasons to impose this civil liability, the characteristics of its rules, the functions, and the general elements of the Gefåhrdungshaftung in Germany. Also, the 2002 amendments to the Gefährdungshaftung section of German torts law are introduced. The latter part analyzes the aticles 191-1, 191-2 and 191-3, attempts to provide theoretical ground for characterizing them as a basis of Gefährdungshaftung, and clarifiesthe doubts about it.
