"The creators of this constitution had created a firm foundation against the background of our history that unites Christianity and the Enlightenment, faith and reason. The 75th anniversary of the Basic Law makes me look back with gratitude on this common foundation of our coexistence. It is important to think about how the Basic Law can be filled with life. For me as a Christian, this also includes maintaining an awareness of the question of how we are ultimately responsible for our actions."
