| Summary: | On 19 March 1955, ten years after the end of the Second World War, a treaty was concluded between Lower Saxony, a Land newly created by the British occupation authorities on 1 November 1946, and the five Protestant churches which lay within this region. This socalled "Loccumer Vertrag," worked out in only ten weeks, served as a model for similar church-state treaties in the Federal Republic of Germany (e.g., Schleswig-Holstein, Hessen). The main authors of the treaty – on the side of the state (Konrad Mueller) as well as the church (Erich Ruppel) – endeavored to bring the positive fruits of the Church Struggle during the Nazi period into their work on the treaty. They succeeded in this. Especially the recognition of the "public mandate of the churches and their independence" of the state, as it is formulated in the Preamble, is recognized correctly as something new in the history of churchstate law. |
