Norm control of § 184b StGB terminated following withdrawal of constitutional review application

The Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the pending norm control proceedings upon the referring court’s withdrawal of its application. The dispute concerned a constitutional challenge to Section 184b of the Criminal Code (StGB), initiated by a court to resolve a question of law under its constitutional mandate. The Court ordered the immediate termination of the proceedings based solely on procedural grounds, as the initiating court’s withdrawal of the application rendered the matter moot, without adjudicating on the substantive constitutionality of the challenged norm.
