The Center for Political and Legal Theory, headed by Professor Dr Dorothea Gädeke, studies the normative, legal and social theoretic bases of political order. Research and teaching focus in particular on the tension ridden interplay between power, the law and freedom. The center has an international orientation and is committed to international cooperation.

Professor Dr Sebastian Huhnholz joined our team on 1 October 2025. He will be working with us for two semesters.
