Bundesverfassungsgericht

Bundesverfassungsgericht, often referred to as the Federal Constitutional Court, is the supreme constitutional court for the Federal Republic of Germany. Headquartered in Karlsruhe and established in 1951, it has fundamental jurisdiction over constitutional matters. It is tasked with policing the constitutional boundaries set for federal and state authorities, and can void laws that infringe on the constitution. The court is divided into two senates, dealing with different types of cases, and all judges serve a 12-year term. Notably, it is the only German court that has the power to declare an act of parliament as unconstitutional.
