German Restitution Law

German restitution law provides procedures for individuals or entities to claim the return of property or assets that were unlawfully seized, confiscated, or taken, particularly during periods of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany. It aims to restore ownership to rightful owners or their descendants, often involving legal processes to verify claims. The law also addresses compensation for losses and works with international agreements to resolve disputes. Overall, it seeks justice and acknowledgment for wrongful dispossession, balancing historical accountability with legal restitution frameworks within Germany's legal system.
