Three quarters of a century after its adoption, Germany’s constitution, i.e. the Grundgesetz, is more popular than ever before. Constitutions trigger feelings, not only since 1949 and not only in Germany. The nature of these feelings determines their binding force. But how do feelings about the constitution arise? What hopes and expectations, what experiences and threats characterise them? Who has them and who misses them?

About Ute Frevert
Ute Frevert, an internationally renowned historian and former (until 2024) director of the Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung in Berlin, will address these questions against the background of constitutional debates in Germany since the 19th century as well as ongoing discussions with respect especially to the role of Germany’s Supreme Court, i.e. the Bundesverfassungsgericht.
