Liebeskonzil (1982) is a film by Werner Schroeter, based on Das Liebeskonzil (1894), a play by Oskar Panizza.
The film was banned by the Austrian government in 1985, on the grounds that it insulted the Christian religion.
In 1994, in the case of Otto-Preminger-Institut v. Austria, the European Court of Human Rights held by 6 votes to 3 that the banning of the film was a justifiable limitation on the freedom of expression, because the film would offend Austrian Roman Catholics.
