»Legal Quality and Impact of the Hamburg State Treaty with Muslims - The German Statechurch Law
in a State of Flux«: The Hamburg »State treaty with Muslims« signed 11-13-2012 is a cooperative
treaty sui generis. So it can¿t be characterized as a state-church treaty in the stricter
sense. Although the Hamburg treaty awards the necessary legal quality to the three muslim
federations that are involved there are legal questions that stay unanswered especially
concerning islamic religous instruction. Towards the Hamburg state association of the (Turkish
islamic) DITIB-Federation there remain doubts to its ability to legal cooperation because of
its proximity to the Turkish state. So the Hamburg treaty marks »generation 3 5« of the German
state-church law.
