Please note:

Academic term paper
Those who would like to write a church history examination paper (academic term paper) should please note for their study planning that I supervise a maximum of two papers per semester due to my full-time professional commitments in Münster.

Oral/written examinations as part of the first state examination
Please register for the oral and written state examinations in good time, as I can only hold a limited number of examinations in the field of church history due to my full-time professional commitments in Münster. When making your plans, please also note that I am generally only available as a second examiner. Examination commitments are only valid for a specifically agreed semester/examination period. If examinations are not taken in the agreed semester, it cannot automatically be assumed that the "examination entitlement" in the field of church history will remain.

Independently of the church history examinations, which are conducted by me, the area of church history can also be examined by Prof. Reese-Schnitker, Prof. Kutzer and Prof. Müllner. The respective topics/the respective literature for the church history examination must be agreed with me in advance.
