Research database · as of 24/09/2026

Decisions from Open Legal Data and the Federal Court of Justice (BGH). Only available full texts with a search index are counted; identical combinations of court, case number and date count once.

The cleaned count found 240,421 decisions. The figure shown is rounded down to the nearest thousand. Text sections and statutory articles do not count as additional decisions.

Sections and articles of the German federal statutes and regulations covered, counted by statute and provision regardless of amended versions. The count found 14,350 provisions with text and search index; the figure shown is rounded down to the nearest thousand.

The database is a research basis; it does not cover all case law. Even with sources, an AI can make mistakes.

The letter is open, the sentences sound important – and nobody explains what they mean for you. Meanwhile the clock is running: a dismissal leaves you three weeks to file a claim, a fine notice two weeks to object. So let's sort this out together – within minutes you'll know where you stand.
