Bundessozialgericht

The Bundessozialgericht (Federal Social Court) is Germany’s highest court for social law matters. It reviews cases related to social security, healthcare, unemployment benefits, and pensions to ensure laws are applied correctly. Its decisions set important legal standards and ensure fair treatment within Germany’s social welfare system. The court does not rehear cases on facts but focuses on questions of legal interpretation and application, providing final judgments that guide lower courts and government policies.
