Frequently Asked Questions
How are legal deadlines calculated in Germany?
Legal deadlines follow Sections 186-193 BGB. The day of the triggering event is not counted. Deadlines in months end on the corresponding date of the target month. If it falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline extends to the next business day.
What happens if I miss a legal deadline?
Missing a legal deadline can result in loss of rights (e.g., statute of limitations), procedural disadvantages, or default. In some cases, reinstatement (Wiedereinsetzung) is possible if the delay was unavoidable.
What is the Deadline Calculator?
The deadline calculator computes legal deadlines according to the rules of the German Civil Code (Sections 186-193), including weekends and public holidays.
How does the Deadline Calculator work?
Enter the triggering event, the deadline duration (days, weeks, months) and the state. The calculator computes the deadline expiry following BGB rules: deadline starts on the following day, ends on the last day, shifts if it falls on a holiday or weekend.
