was to contribute to the current debate on church financing paragraph 3.2.2 of the report of the National Court result Schleswig-Holstein on 16 February 2010 (LT-Drucks. 16/994) have executed.

where it states:

[...]

The country pays grants of more than 11 million € per year to churches and church organizations. Which 98% are in the North Elbe Church (NEC). Basis for the grants to NEK, the Schleswig-Holstein church Treaty (SHKV) of 1957. After SHKV the state services are dynamic: they evolve in parallel with the civil servants in the country. Granted, the funds for the church administration, Parish salary and supply, and the building maintenance, not for charitable and cultural achievements of the churches.

The SHKV contains no adjustment or termination clause. Differences of opinion between the parties are disposed of by friendly manner (Article 28 SHKV). This "friendship" clause acts as a guarantee of eternal value.

Since 1957, the SHKV not fundamentally changed conditions have been adjusted. These include the establishment of the NEC, the declining loyalty of the people in the churches and the dire financial situation of the country. Also state benefits to the churches to contribute to fiscal consolidation in the country. The LRH has therefore 2007 should fix the SHKV.

[...]

reminds the rest of the LRH to the existing obligation of the country since 1919 to replace the state benefits. This is meant to stop a payment obligation with compensation. The constitutional mandate to the federal government to adopt their principles, is also 60 years after entry into force of the Basic Law are not met.
