Quotes

“In order to restore pride and dignity and its former importance to the professional civil service, the development towards a parliamentary monarchy would be desirable. The German civil servant has had no binding relationship with his monarch for 50 years. The institution of the Federal President has changed the civil servant's loyalty to the state. "

Helmuth Schranz made a legal claim that just a few years ago the common sense of right would have found illegal. [...] The trained lawyer and insurance salesman Schranz had himself registered in the lists of the Nazi party as early as 1925.
