You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ernst Benda''' (15 January 1925 – 2 March 2009) was a German legal scholar, politician, and judge. He was the fourth president of the [[Federal Constitutional Court of Germany]] from 1971 to 1983. He also held the position of [[Minister of the Interior of Germany]] from 1968 to 1969.

Benda was born in Berlin, the son of an engineer. After completing his schooling, he served in the [[Kriegsmarine]] from 1943 to 1945. After World War II, he pursued law studies at the [[Humboldt University of Berlin]] in East Berlin. However, in 1948, he moved to the [[University of Wisconsin–Madison|University of Wisconsin]] and later to the [[Free University of Berlin]] in West Berlin. In 1956, he began working as a [[lawyer]] in Berlin.

Benda became a member of the [[Christian Democratic Union (Germany)|Christian Democratic Union]] (CDU) in 1946. He played a role in founding the [[Kampfgruppe gegen Unmenschlichkeit]] (KgU) ("Combat Group against Inhumanity") in 1948, an anti-communist organization that operated in the German Democratic Republic ([[GDR]]). The KgU received financial support from various Western intelligence agencies and the West German government. He served as a member of the [[Abgeordnetenhaus von Berlin]], the parliament of Berlin, from 1954 to 1957. In 1957, he was elected to the [[Bundestag]], the West German parliament.<ref>((Cite web|title=Die Mitglieder des Deutschen Bundestages - 1.-13.

He held the position of [[Secretary of State]] in the German [[interior ministry]] from 1967 and became Minister of the Interior in 1968. 

In 1969, Benda was appointed as a judge to the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany. He became the president of the court from 1971 to 1983. Starting in 1984, Benda held the position of a professor of law at the [[University of Freiburg]].
