General administrative law

General administrative law deals with the possibilities and limitations of the actions of the public administration vis-à-vis the individual. In doing so, the limits of state action must always be observed, which are rooted in the principle of the legality of the administration (Art. 20 Para. 3 of the Basic Law) and the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights. The administration can act towards the individual in the form of an administrative act by issuing an individual decree in various areas of public law. The administration can also conclude a contract under public law to regulate individual matters. If the administration maintains public facilities in the form of markets, town halls, day care centers, kindergartens, etc., it is bound by law when granting access to these.
