Legal Matters – Lusatia 2019

Lusatia is located both in Brandenburg and in Saxony, so that different laws can come into effect. In terms of content there are few relevant differences for us. We have listed the most important ones here:
  • In Saxony it is possible to detain people for up to 72 hours to find out their ID. In Brandenburg up to 12 hours.
  • The new police law in Brandenburg (in force since 03-2019) could give the police the idea to look superficially into the trunk and car. For a thorough search it needs, however, always a search warrant!
  • Saxony has its own assembly law (SächsVersG), while Brandenburg has taken over the federal assembly law (VersammlG). The laws are however contentwise the same. Don’t be confused by the different terms.
