Abstract
In the last five years (2014– 2018) judgements of the German Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht) have significantly influenced the German planning law (Baugesetzbuch). This article provides a representative overview of these decisions. It also explains their influence on the German planning law with a particular emphasis on the law of urban landuse planning (Bauleitplanung) and building consents (Baugenehmigung). The article also takes into account some decisions of the German Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) as well as the German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof). Both courts have adjudicated on compensation for expropriation. Furthermore, the German Federal Constitutional Court has given advice on the preservation of deficient plans whereas the German Federal Court of Justice also delivered judgements on urbanistic contracts.
