This image is in the public domain according to
German copyright law because it is part of a statute, ordinance, official decree or judgment (
official work) issued by a German authority or court (
§ 5 Abs.1

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate
{{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see
Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar,
{{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See
Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
