| | Once the Bundestag impeaches the president the Federal Constitutional Court is charged with determining if he or she is guilty of the offence. | | | If the president is outside of the country, or the position is vacant, the President of the Bundesrat (this position is rotated among the state premiers on a yearly basis) fills in as temporary, acting Federal President. | | | The modern office of Federal President, established in 1949, is the successor to the former office of Federal President, although the current constitution gives the President less executive power. |

| | Germany is a democratic federal parliamentary nation, made up of 16 federal states (Länder or, more commonly, Bundesländer), which in certain spheres act independently of the Federation. | | | Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, whose unexpectedly high demands were perceived as humiliating in Germany and as a continuation of the war by other means. | | | The territory of Germany stretches from the high mountains of the Alps (highest point: the Zugspitze at 2,962 m) in the south to the shores of the North Sea in the north-west and the Baltic Sea in the north-east. |

| | Germany is now in economic distress; the Socialist-Green coalition in power is selling off public assets and dismantling the social welfare system. | | | Germany: Ostalgia for the GDR, by Dominique Vidal, Peter Linden et Benjamin Wuttke | | | Gerhard thinks Ostalgia reflects "the rejection of the new society by a steadily increasing number of East Germans, who are so desperate they forget the shortcomings of the GDR." Maxim justifies "a legitimate desire to defend a lifestyle that has disappeared" but also refers to "memories of a GDR that never existed". |

| | Its work was brought to a standstill by West Germany's Federal Ministry for the Protection of the Constitution in the "Vulkan affair" of 1953. | | | By the spring of 1953 prisons in East Germany were overflowing with those sentenced under the "Law for the Protection of the People's Property and Other Community Property." Workers and farmers were engaged in overt resistance to the "building of socialism," and basic goods such as butter and vegetables were difficult to obtain. | | | Its main task was to compile a registry of injustices in eastern Germany for an eventual trial that would be a "new and better Nüremberg." The VOS was formed shortly afterward, in February 1950, by former prisoners in East Germany to promote the release of political prisoners there. |
