Aspekte des Status von Religionsgemeinschaften als Körperschaften des öffentlichen Rechts. : Ausgewählte Fragestellungen des Körperschaftsstatus in der Rechtspraxis.

»Aspects of the Status of Religious Communities as Corporate Bodies under Public Law«The corporate status of religious communities and its constitutional guarantee (Article 140 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany in conjunction with Article 137 of the Weimar Constitution) are according to the prevailing opinion the key to large parts of state law concerning religions. In contrast to this it has to be realized that some rights of religious communities de facto do not exist, do not depend on the corporate status or aren't guaranteed constitutionally.
