Pacified District (Administrative Law)

This article or paragraph presents the situation in Germany . Help us to describe the situation in other countries.

Pacified districts are defined areas around the German Bundestag (seat in the Reichstag building ), the Bundesrat (seat in the Prussian manor house ) and according to the law on pacified districts for federal constitutional organs (BefBezG) of August 11, 1999 ( Federal Law Gazette I p. 1818 ) the Federal Constitutional Court .

Meetings are only permitted within these districts if an impairment of the business operations of these constitutional organs is excluded ( ban mile ). In this context, the right to demonstrate, in the sense of weighing up the freedom of assembly and the ability of the constitutional organs to work, is in principle only restricted to the extent that the latter is not impaired. This is to express that the “banishment” of the population is not intended. Demonstrations are to be permitted if no interference is expected. This applies especially on days when there are no sessions (Section 3 BefBezG). The Federal Ministry of the Interior and the President of the constitutional body concerned make the decision on whether or not to hold appropriate meetings .

With the entry into force of the BefBezG, the ban miles law of August 6, 1955 ( Federal Law Gazette I p. 504 ), which generally excluded such gatherings, was replaced. This means that in the former federal capital and today's federal city of Bonn , open-air gatherings, elevators and political demonstrations were prohibited within a banned mile around the Bundestag. The ban mile was abolished with the move to Berlin .
