Civil service law as part of special administrative law includes all legal provisions that deal with civil service relationships, in particular the resulting rights and obligations of civil servants in Germany.

In civil service law, a civil servant is understood to be someone who has a special public service and loyalty relationship with the state or another legal entity under public law as an employer. The civil service relationship is not created, like an employment relationship, by concluding a contract, but rather through the so-called appointment, which represents an administrative act and is carried out by handing over the appointment certificate.
