Which foreign judgments are enforced in the Germany
Recognition of a foreign judgment in Germany is automatic under §328 of the Code of Civil Procedure, but enforcement needs a separate exequatur claim. Arbitral award claims carry a thirty-year limitation period, tolled by filing that claim, with a fixed fee under item 1510 of the court fee schedule. Foreign documents need an apostille, in force here since 13 February 1966. Each origin is covered on its own page below.
