Besondere Loyalitätsobliegenheiten in kirchlichen Arbeitsverhältnissen

This PhD thesis approaches special ”duties of loyalty” that are imposed on employees in companies run by the churches on the basis of German constitutional law: While in many previous publications the concept of the community of service and numerous premises embedded in it form the starting point, here methodological special paths and divergences from other parts of constitutional law are to be uncovered. With this approach, it is possible to show both the reasons for the solitary position of church individual labour law and its concrete manifestations. In the process, it becomes clear in which aspects constitutional law demands adjustments to previous legal practice.
