项目摘要

The practice of protestant wedding ceremonies in Germany is changing heavily within the last decades. Statistically, the number of church weddings is decreasing since the 1970s, far more than the number of overall marriages. Culturally, the trend of celebrating the wedding as a big event, has an increasing influence also on the expectations concerning the church ceremonies, its location and its staging. Last but not least, the church´s practice is affected by changes in common marriage law, e.g. regarding divorce or the marriage of gay couples: Should these partnerships also be blessed publicly in the churches?The cultural, also the religious change in the general field of rites of passage may be studied especially by looking on the practice of church wedding. The legal orders of church wedding are of special importance here. In the respective church laws, in its regulations and rules of implementation, it can be seen clearly how the institution of church, over the last decades, has been ready to accept the general transformation in marriage culture - and where the institution chose to resist to that legal and cultural changings. In this respect, not least the specific law of ministry, with regard to the marriage regulations for the pastors, is quite instructive.The intricate relationship between the common social practice of wedding on the one hand and the church institution on the other hand, will be analyzed here not so much - as usually - with regard to the worship orders or the pastoral rules of wedding, but with regard to its legal orders and regulations. Additionally, the debates in church synods, in administration and in pastoral councils will come into the focus of research. The respective archive documents of selected state churches, in east and west Germany, will be investigated concerning the following questions: Which kinds of arguments, which way of dogmatic, pastoral or organisational reasoning is used in church debates to assimilate the wedding practice to important legal changes, e.g. concerning divorce or gay marriage? And what arguments are used with respect to religious changes, e.g. concerning marriages between members of different churches or even of different religions? How is the theological profile of protestant wedding expressed in the respective debates, how are gender relations seen here?By that research, also the status of church law in generally can be clarified: What is the degree of compulsion of the wedding law (and the law of Passage Rites in general), especially in the so called Lebensordnungen (orders of christian life) which churches invented since the 1950s? The research on the orders of protestant wedding will thereby lead to a more intense cooperation between Practical Theology and the disciplines of Church Law and Marriage Law.

在过去的几十年里，德国新教婚礼的习俗发生了巨大的变化。据统计，自20世纪70年代以来，教堂婚礼的数量正在减少，远远超过整体婚姻的数量。在文化上，将婚礼作为一件大事来庆祝的趋势，对教堂仪式、地点和舞台的期望也产生了越来越大的影响。最后但并非最不重要的是，教会的做法受到普通婚姻法变化的影响，例如关于离婚或同性恋伴侣的婚姻：这些伴侣关系也应该在教会中公开祝福吗？文化，也是宗教的变化，在一般领域的仪式的通过可以研究，特别是通过看的做法，教堂婚礼。教堂婚礼的法律的命令在这里特别重要。在各自的教会法中，在其条例和执行规则中，可以清楚地看到教会机构在过去几十年中是如何准备接受婚姻文化的普遍变革的，以及该机构选择抵制这种法律的和文化变革的地方。在这方面，特别是关于牧师婚姻规定的具体事工法，是非常有指导意义的。婚姻的社会习俗与教会制度之间的复杂关系，在这里将不像通常那样，从崇拜命令或婚姻的牧师规则方面进行分析，而是关于它的法律的命令和规章。此外，教会会议、行政部门和教牧会中的辩论也将成为研究的焦点。在德国东部和西部，选定的国家教会的各自档案文件，将调查以下问题：哪种论点，教条的方式，牧师或组织的推理是在教会辩论中使用同化的婚礼实践，以重要的法律的变化，例如，关于离婚或同性恋婚姻？关于宗教变化，例如关于不同教会成员甚至不同宗教成员之间的婚姻，使用了什么论点？在各自的辩论中，新教婚礼的神学概况是如何表达的，这里的性别关系是如何看待的？通过这项研究，教会法的地位一般也可以澄清：什么是婚姻法的强制性程度（和通行仪式的法律一般），特别是在所谓的Lebensordnungen（基督徒生活的命令），教会发明自1950年代？对新教婚礼秩序的研究将导致实践神学与教会法和婚姻法学科之间更加密切的合作。
