Summary
Both the German state and the Protestant Church in Germany have a data protection law. Against the backdrop of the demands made by Protestant theology on the essence of ecclesiastical law, Ziekow begins by outlining the position of the church data protection law in the German state law pertaining to the churches. After taking a look at the historical development and present form of seal of the confession, he then examines the possibility of a specific church approach which would result in an ecclesiastical right to privacy.
