As in other countries on the Continent, there have been a considerable number of Anglican chaplaincies and churches in Germany. They were established—loosely speaking, not in the sense of churches as ‘by law established’—either by merchants or by people of means who toured the Continent, and settled occasionally in fashionable spas or other similar places. These chaplaincies may be grouped—from a legal point of view—according to their status under German law which may be different with regard to the German system of law governing the relationships between the state and the churches.
