Work and positions

In the 1990s Kloepfer played a key role in the development of the professors' draft and the commission's draft for an environmental code. Kloepfer also dealt with the systematization of environmental law in numerous scientific publications, in particular in his textbook on German environmental law. Michael Kloepfer is the editor of the publications on environmental law (SUR).

In the context of his work on constitutional dogmatics, Kloepfer devotes himself primarily to questions of constitutional development and constitutional perfection. In the field of fundamental rights dogmatics , Kloepfer made contributions to contouring the idea of ​​the protection of fundamental rights as a guarantee of constitutional requirements, building on his dissertation “Fundamental rights as a safeguard against the creation of existing rights” (1970) . His post-doctoral thesis “Vorffekt von Gesetze” (1974) is devoted to the constitutional dogmatic mastering of the actual effects of legislative proposals.

In addition, Kloepfer is pushing for a structural strengthening of parliamentary participation vis-à-vis the executive . Kloepfer criticized the way in which Chancellor Angela Merkel made decisions on the accelerated nuclear phase-out after the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in 2011 and on the refugee crisis in 2015/2016 from a legal perspective, in particular with regard to the rule of law (Art. 20 para. 3 GG) and parliamentary scrutiny.

A basic idea that pervades Kloepfer's work on administrative law and constitutional law alike is increased attention to informal and indirect forms of sovereign action (indirect behavior control). In constitutional law, for example, he examined the handling of "undesirable parties " (2016), in financial constitutional law the permissibility of socially responsible, "controlling fees " (1972) and, in particular, in environmental law various instruments of indirect behavior control (such as information trading , levies , certificate trading ).

In the research field law and literature , Kloepfer dealt with Schiller and Rilke .
