Freiburg Domchor Leadership Resigns Over Kapellmeister Dismissal

The dismissal of Boris Böhmann has led to escalating tensions, protests, and uncertainty about the future of the renowned church choir.

The entire board of the Freiburg Domchor resigned, citing an inability to collaborate with the diocese after their request for dialogue was denied.
Domkapellmeister Boris Böhmann's dismissal in February 2024, with no clear reasons provided by the diocese, has caused widespread dissatisfaction among choir members and supporters.
The situation has led to the suspension of choir activities, the disbanding of the Choralschola, and some members considering leaving the church entirely.
Parents of the Domsingknaben have expressed deep frustration, noting the emotional toll on children and calling for accountability and constructive engagement from the diocese.
A petition to reinstate Böhmann has garnered significant support, with 3,800 signatures, highlighting the public's demand for resolution.
