\n

People often say that \u201efederalism\u201c makes things complicated. In Germany, the rules can vary from one federal state to another\u2014and many people find this impractical, confusing, or even unfair.<\/p>\n

With the event on March 11, 2026, the Forum Recht Foundation will continue the \u201eLet\u2019s Talk About Recht\u201c discussion series that began in 2025. The guest speaker will be the political scientist Dr. Martin<\/strong> Big H\u00fcttmann<\/strong> and Prof. Dr. David Roth-Isigkeit<\/strong>, Professor of Public Law at the University of Administrative Sciences in Speyer.<\/p>\n

Together with our guests, we want to discuss why there are so many different rules in Germany in the first place\u2014and what that means for our daily lives. What problems arise when each federal state has its own laws? But also: What advantages does this diversity offer? What happens when rules contradict each other? And how can political developments in the federal states\u2014such as the state election in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg on March 8\u2014have a concrete impact on the law? The audience is cordially invited to join the discussion and contribute their own questions to the conversation.<\/p>\n

Our guests<\/h3>\n

Dr. Martin Gro\u00dfe H\u00fcttmann<\/strong> is a research associate at the Institute of Political Science at the University of T\u00fcbingen. For many years, he has been conducting research on the political systems of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union, focusing in particular on issues of European integration, political parties, and federalism.<\/p>\n
