The Lex Hohenlohe is on Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe returning constitutional complementary Kingdom Act of 1899 repealing the association and freedom of assembly connection prohibitions in question.
The law was actually called the law relating to associations and was dated December 11, 1899 ( RGBl. P. 699). The content of his only article was:
“Domestic associations of all kinds are allowed to establish contact with one another. Conflicting state legal provisions are repealed. "
The restrictive laws that had been in effect at the state level up to that point had aimed in particular at preventing the unification of political parties - which are still traditionally organized as associations today. In addition, from the reaction era of the German Confederation, there was also the federal resolution of 13 July 1854 on measures to maintain legal order and calm in the German Confederation, in particular relating to associations, which banned supra-local associations.
Ernst Rudolf Huber described Lex Hohenlohe as the “foundation of the fully developed party law of the German constitutional state”.
