Hospitality

The following important information is missing from this article or section:
Hospitality in the Arab world. Or with the Touareg and other nomadic people. Much stronger than the legal framework in Germany. In this context also the question of guest requirements. Unfortunately, I am a practical layman in this area.

The right of hospitality is the temporary and revocable authorization to be temporarily present as a visitor in an environment other than his own, especially in a group of people to which he does not belong permanently, for certain purposes and to take advantage of the hospitality of others.

The right to host is based on voluntariness and does not justify any actionable claims in the legal sense. An example is the right to host non-university researchers at a higher education institution to carry out joint research projects or the temporary tolerance of non-residents at a certain location.

The right of asylum for politically persecuted people, on the other hand, is a fundamental right anchored in the Basic Law .

Antiquity

The right to hospitality appears, obligated by custom and tradition, initially as a natural postulate, which is sometimes expressly recognized through ceremonies and symbols. The concept of hospitality and loyalty has always been associated with salt in particular . Just as Slavic peoples still welcome those entering with bread and salt brought to them , so in the Arab culture one invokes in disputes that the opponent ate bread and salt with him.

Greece

If the stranger was accepted as a guest by the Greeks , he was under the protection of Zeus Xenios and had the right to demand protection from the host against any danger. However, this right was based only on religious beliefs. By Proxenie but it was a truly legal relationship by guest Friends ( próxenoi ) were ordered by the state. These were citizens who were commissioned by a foreign state or prince to welcome the members of that state in a hospitable manner, to protect their rights and, moreover, to support them with advice and action, i.e. predecessors of today's consuls and residents. Most of them belonged to the state for which they acted as próxenoi .

Roman Empire

With the Romans , the hospitality ( hospitium ) developed in a similar way, only that here the duty of protection for those who had taken it on was often only a mere testimony of honor on the part of the client. The right to hospitality was also established by contract between individuals and individual families, gifts (guest gifts, xenia ) were alternately given , the identifying marks ( symbola , tesserae hospitales ) exchanged : the parts of a broken ring that fit into each other, tablets and the like. These symbols were also inherited when the right to hospitality was to be passed on to the descendants, from father to son. The relationship could only be properly terminated through the formal termination of the contract.

Christianity

With the increasing development of transport and traffic, the inn and other accommodation options also appeared. Hospitality took on different forms, especially through the influence of Christianity . The support of strangers, especially traveling Christians, was a duty of Christians, part of the church donations were used for the accommodation and catering of the strangers. These current contributions from the church treasury were later replaced by the hospitals . The traveling Christians also received letters of recommendation from their bishops in order to receive friendly reception in the foreign congregations. But there can be no question of a right to hospitality here.

international law

In naval warfare law , the right of hospitality consists in the temporary authorization of warships to stay in a neutral port.
