Even 20 years after the German Federal Constitutional Court's »crucifix decision«, the question of whether religious symbols should be allowed in state facilities is still a contentious one. Their admissibility depends on whether the fundamental rights of whoever is confronted by such a symbol are encroached. Sarah Röhrig contends that proper legal assessment of the matter demands a thorough understanding of the actual effects triggered by the confrontation. To that end, she places socio-psychological and religious-psychological research results in the context of fundamental rights.
