Civil Law (BGB - Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch)

The Civil Law (BGB) is Germany's foundational set of rules governing private relationships between individuals and organizations. It covers areas such as contracts, property ownership, family matters, and inheritance. The BGB establishes rights and responsibilities, ensuring that transactions and interactions are fair and predictable. It provides legal clarity by defining how agreements are made, what obligations parties have, and what remedies are available in disputes. Essentially, it creates a framework that regulates everyday life and private dealings, promoting stability and justice in personal and economic relationships.
