Abstract
The article traces the development of governance in the Lutheran churches in Germany since the Reformation. He illustrates this by the long tradition of the "Landesherrliches Kirchenregiment" - the intermediate state of wordly ruler's authorities over the church - which started in the time of the Reformation until 1918. The article traces then to today's relationship between church and state in Germany and the decision-making structures within the Lutheran churches in Germany (VELKD) after second World war.
