Help us protect the constitution!

The constitution is increasingly under pressure. To protect it, we need knowledge. And we make that knowledge accessible. Open Access.

We publish up-to-date analyses and commentaries. We spark debates. We raise awareness about threats to the constitution and how they can be countered. In Thuringia. Across Germany. In Europe. Worldwide.

Many are asking what they can do right now. Our answer: Create knowledge. And thus, protect the constitution.

To do so, we need your support.

Your donation makes a difference

Since 2009, the Verfassungsblog has provided a free, open platform where over 3,600 authors have published their contributions. Our content is always accessible to everyone – without paywalls. With your donation, we will be able to sustain this model and ensure free access to legal expertise for a wide audience.

The Constitutional Blog is actively committed to protecting our democracy and the rule of law. We started in Thuringia, and now we are expanding our focus to the entire Federal Republic: We examine how authoritarian populists attack the liberal-democratic constitutional order – in our research, in our blog posts, Open Access. With your donation, we enable thorough research and the development of effective strategies to counter these threats, making our democracy more resilient.

After more than a decade online, it is time to technically revamp the Verfassungsblog and make it future-proof. With your donation, we can develop a modern, user-friendly platform that matches the high quality of our content and meets the needs of both readers and authors.

The protection of the democratic constitution is too important to be left to security agencies alone. We analyze how democratic institutions can better protect themselves against the strategies of authoritarian populists. With this knowledge, society can prepare for what lies ahead. Through the Thuringia Project, we have successfully tested the model. With your donation, you make civil constitutional protection possible.

2025 – A decisive year for our democracy

Much will be decided in 2025. Will democracy survive in the United States? Where is the European Union heading? Who will govern at the federal level? What impact will the authoritarian-populist electoral success in Thuringia, Saxony, and Brandenburg have? What should other federal states be prepared for?

Protecting the constitution means defending the institutions of democracy and the rule of law, and keeping spaces open for free discourse – especially in times when such spaces are becoming increasingly restricted and scare.

The Verfassungsblog is one of those spaces.

Help us keep this space open!
