    The most natural submanifolds of complex space forms (or of any manifolds admitting a complex or almost complex structure \(J\)) are the so-called complex submanifolds (for which \(J\) preserves the tangent space) and the totally real submanifolds (for which \(J\) maps tangent vectors to normal vectors). A natural generalisation of these classes of submanifolds as introduced by \textit{A. Bejancu} [``CR submanifolds of a Kaehler manifold. I'', Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 69, No. 1, 135--142 (1978; \url{doi:10.2307/2043207})], are the so-called CR submanifolds for which the tangent space can be orthogonally decomposed as the direct sum of two distributions \(\mathcal D_1\) and \(\mathcal D_2\). The first distribution being invariant with respect to \(J\), whereas vectors of the second one are mapped into normal vectors. In the present paper, the authors are in particular interested in complex submanifolds, totally real submanifolds and so-called coisotropic submanifolds (the latter being CR submanifolds such that \(J \mathcal D_2\) is the entire normal space). The authors study the normal holonomy group. In particular they show that for a coisotropic submanifold of a complex space form the restricted normal holonomy group acts on the normal space as the holonomy representation of a Riemannian symmetric space.
