Abstract (Translated): 
The church tax revenue in 2022 was estimated at 13 billion euros. This is an increase of around 300 million euros compared to 2021. The Catholic Church accounted for around 6.8 billion euros in 2022, and the Protestant Church around 6.2 billion euros. However, further increases are likely to be rather small. This is mainly due to the shrinking number of taxpayers. In 2022, the number of people leaving churches has increased to a record level. In real terms, the two churches must therefore reckon with a drop in income. Adjusted for purchasing power, tax revenues are unlikely to reach the pre-crisis level of 2019 (around -10 %) or the level of 2022 (almost -4 %) by 2 0 27.
