Provisional
The provisional arrangement (colloquially also "provi"; from Latin provisio , "precaution") describes a thing set up for the temporary purpose , whereby the time limit of use is determined from the start. The term interim has a similar meaning for a temporary solution.
Occasionally a temporary arrangement becomes a permanent establishment, then one jokingly speaks of a providurium . However, this should only be the case if the temporary construction withstands the benefit in the long term.
In legal parlance , a precautionary measure is u. a. referred to as a provisional arrangement ( cf. on the other hand super- provisional arrangement )
Examples
After the end of the Second World War , the choice of Bonn as the provisional capital and provisional seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany was initially only a temporary solution. When the reunification of West Germany with the “ other part of Germany ”, the GDR , and the whole of Berlin did not seem feasible in the foreseeable future, the constitutional organs in Bonn established themselves permanently. This was evident not least in the construction of the new plenary building for the German Bundestag in the 1980s. Only after the establishment of the unity of Germany 1990 - unexpectedly for most people - became a reality, the Bundestag grabbed a controversial debate the decision to leave the "permanent temporary" Bonn and move to Berlin, with a portion of the federal ministries continue in earlier provisional should remain.
The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany was also initially considered to be a provisional solution, which was to be followed by an all-German constitution after the reunification , which was then always sought after ; this was also clearly expressed in the preamble that preceded the Basic Law . When the GDR ceased to exist in 1990 and the newly formed states became federal states of the Federal Republic on the basis of the Basic Law , the "provisional" Basic Law changed constitutionally and constitutionally to the final constitution of the unified Germany, without the previously planned vote being carried out.
In dentistry , a temporary restoration is made and inserted if a tooth loss cannot be repaired immediately, in order to avoid gaps between the teeth that are technically or visually disruptive in the meantime.
