Nachträgliche Lehrbeanstandung eines evangelischen Theologieprofessors

In its decision dated 28 October 2008, the Federal Constitutional Court affirmed the constitutional admissibility of theological faculties. There are no constitutional misgivings about the transfer of a professor of theology within the faculty, a professor to whom the church objected after the fact, and also to a change in the professor's duties. In case of an amendment to the individual agreements between the Protestant church and the state, the regional churches should protect themselves against the legal consequences of such an objection in these agreements and in canon law.
