German federal court decisions: list published decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court, Federal Court of Justice, Federal Administrative Court, Federal Fiscal Court, Federal Labour Court, Federal Social Court and Federal Patent Court, and read a decision’s text and headnote.

Tools

• de_case_search(court?, query?, date_from?, date_to?, limit?) — decisions by court (BVerfG, BGH, BVerwG, BFH, BAG, BSG, BPatG, or a chamber such as “BVerfG 1. Senat”), file number fragment (Aktenzeichen, e.g. 1 BvR 2268/23) and date, newest first, with the count of all matches and data_as_of. There is no full-text or subject search: the publisher’s index carries court, date and file number only.
• de_case_get(id, max_chars?, offset?) — court, chamber, date, file number, decision type, ECLI, headnote (Leitsatz) where published, and the decision text (Tenor, Tatbestand, Gründe), paged.

Data sources

• Federal Ministry of Justice (Germany), federal court decisions open publication. Live per request; nothing is stored.

Things to know:

• A search reads the publisher’s whole index (about 80,000 decisions) per request, so it takes a few seconds; the index is cached for a short time.
• Texts are the published, anonymised German originals. Some entries are metadata-only; de_case_get then returns text: null with empty_reason.
• Decisions are not date-ordered in the index; results are sorted newest first after filtering. More than 3,000 matches are truncated with a note: narrow by court or date.
