I have a question about the Editor Name in the bibliography. The Name is "Koordinierungsgruppe der CE in der Katholischen Kirche". The problem is that biblatex doesn't recognize it as one name but as the last name. So in the bibliography it always prints "Koordinierungsgruppe der CE in der Katholischen Kirche,". How is it possible to remove the comma? I already tried with extra {} but it doesn't work.

\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[babel,german=guillemets]{csquotes}
%%%
%Biblatex-Einstellungen
%%%
\usepackage[backend=bibtex, bibstyle=alphabetic, citestyle=alphabetic, style=authortitle-ibid, pagetracker=false]{biblatex}
%%%
\DefineBibliographyStrings{german}{%Hg statt Hrsg.
editor ={\addspace\nopunct\mkbibparens{Hg\adddot}},
}
\renewcommand*{\labelnamepunct}{\addcolon\addspace}%Doppelpunkt nach Autor beim Zitieren
\DeclareFieldFormat{title}{#1\isdot}%Title nicht kursiv
\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\textsc{#1}} %Kapitälchen Nachnahme
\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefirst}[1]{\textsc{#1}} %Kapitälchen Vornahme
%%%
\begin{filecontents}{literatur.bib}
@booklet{Geistmachtlebendig,
editor = {{Koordinierungsgruppe der CE in der Katholischen Kirche}},
title = {Der Geist macht lebendig}, 
year = {2007},
subtitle = {Theologische und pastorale Grundlagen der charismatischen Erneuerung in der katholischen Kirche Deutschlands}
}
\end{filecontents}

The problem here is not the way you enter "corporate"/"institutional"/group authors (which you already do correctly in your MWE, namely with curly braces, see Using a 'corporate author' in the "author" field of a bibliographic entry (spelling out the name in full) for reference).

The problem is the way you add parentheses around the "Hrsg.". Cite westfahl:frontier from biblatex-examples.bib to see that the exact same issue also occurs with a normal name (with family and given part). The best way to add parentheses around "Hsrg." is change the editortype field format. Then you additionally need to modify editortypedelim to print only a space and not a comma. (See, e.g. Remove comma after editor name in biblatex or my answer to biblatex: How to remove the comma before ed./eds.?)

  • Unless you have a compelling reason to stick to BibTeX (backend=bibtex,) I would suggest you look into using Biber. Usually that is as easy as changing backend=bibtex, to backend=biber, and running Biber instead of BibTeX (many people have their editor run these programs, see Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations for help). Only Biber supports all of biblatex's features. In particular only Biber fully supports Unicode and Unicode sorting.

  • In the example bibstyle=alphabetic, citestyle=alphabetic, style=authortitle-ibid, is completely equivalent to just style=authortitle-ibid,, but the latter is arguably much easier to understand (and much shorter).

  • \labelnamepunct is deprecated and replaced by the context-sensitive delimiter nametitledelim.

  • Instead of redefining \mkbibnamelast and \mkbibnamefirst (which were deprecated in favour of \mkbibnamefamily and \mkbibnamegiven, respectively, more than five years ago) separately, just redefine \mkbibcompletename. (Cite von Brandt, Ahasver to see the difference).

  • The csquotes option babel was renamed to autostyle more than eleven years ago.
