This commentary deals with the treaties concluded after the reunification of Germany by the eastern states with the Protestant regional churches and the Holy See on the basis of the Wittenberg Treaty of 1993, which – in terms of both style and content – has become the model for all further treaties between state and church(es). Thus, the current treaty law of state-church relations is comprehensively presented from a legal point of view and in a practice-oriented manner.
