»Holidays Recognized by the State. An Investigation into the Constitutionality of Changes to State Public Holidays« The study examines the question of which federal and state constitutional requirements determine the introduction or abolition of state-recognized holidays by legislature. On the basis of the secular state's requirement of neutrality, the study clarifies in particular the meaning of such criteria that attempt to specify the social relevance of a holiday. A detailed look at the law on religious contracts completes the result.
