Der Streit um das Recht

Panel

Regarding the culture of public debate in Germany

Where is the border between opinions and matters of the law? In 2025, legal scholar Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf found herself unwillingly thrust into the public eye when she was nominated for a seat on the Federal Constitutional Court. Her handling of socio-political questions placed her at the center of debates that political scientist Julia Reuschenbach has described as defective. In conversation with Jürgen Kaube and Sandra Kegel, the two scholars examine the current state of public discourse in Germany.

In cooperation with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

With Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, Julia Reuschenbach
Moderated by Jürgen Kaube, Sandra Kegel

The event will be held in German.
