In the public debate, the financing of political parties is a perennial issue – for students, however, it is more of a marginal topic in basic studies and exam preparation. The aim of this article is to provide a basic understanding of the structure, history and rationale of party financing at the federal level and to enable students to participate in the (constitutional) legal discourse in a qualified manner. The article concludes with some tips on the practical application of this knowledge in case work.
