Berufsverbot is not a german invention. The term has been used since ancient times and in many countries. You might as well call it Profession ban in english. See the Swedish Wikipedia article sv:Yrkesförbud.

Here is my translation from Swedish:

Berufsverbot or profession ban is law, laws or practice, which means that a person has a prohibition to exercise one or more occupations. There are several different meanings of the term professional ban. If a person is prevented from exercising a profession only for the same one is incompetent you probably do not call it a professional ban. There are other reasons that a person or group is subject to profession bans, such as if a regime want to discourage or impede a political, religious group or another group ^[1].
A typical penalty is that some criminals are condemned to certain professional bans, thus prohibiting the practice of certain professions. Occupation Prohibition may exist in different degrees, some are more radical than others, thus more prolonged or extensive than others. At martial law, for example, in war laws on profession ban may be changed or become radical, see martial law. That has happened several times in history and in almost all states.
In some states there are radical legislation on profession ban. Professsion ban and the like are known far back in history. For example, in the Roman Empire Jews were not allowed to perform medical care and they were not allowed to handle food for non-Jews. Radical legislation has existed in many regimes, not only in communist- and nazi-regimes. Radical legislation is currently active in, for example, Israel where non-Jews can not perform certain professions, and one must even be of some descent to perform certain professions or use certain rights. In most countries, it may may be possible to convert to "right" ideology or religion to ba able to perform all professions, but it is not allways easy to be "approved", even if one has changed one's mind. Another exemepl is Sweden. There you earlier must be Lutheran Christian to have some key positions. And one must still be that to be regent in Sweden. Similar laws exist in many states.

Assessment comment edit

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Berufsverbot/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The subtitle ending with "EU law" is misleading. EU law derives from the EU Treaty, currently the Treaty of Nice. The ECHR is not part of the EU but of the Council of Europe. A completely different organization, founded earlier with far more member states and a somewhat different scope.
