Constitutional Court of Hamburg
The most important types of procedure are the disputes between the constitutional organs of the state, the abstract review of norms concerning the compatibility of legal norms with the state constitution, the concrete review of norms at the request of a court regarding the constitutionality of a law or a legal regulation, the electoral review complaint in elections to the Hamburg Parliament and the district assemblies as well as decisions in disputes regarding the implementation of referendums and popular votes within the framework of Hamburg's popular legislation.
A further area of responsibility arose with the introduction of popular legislation at the state level in 1996.
A different predecessor with a limited scope of duties was the Hamburg State Court (according to the law of 19 May 1926), which, according to Article 49 of the Constitution (of 7 January 1921), had to decide on members of the Senate who had knowingly or through gross negligence violated the Constitution or a law.

Das änderte sich erst mit der Verabschiedung von Walter Stiebeler im November 1984.
