Explanation
Germany’s federal constitution is officially called the Grundgesetz, or Basic Law. Adopted in 1949 as a provisional framework after World War II, it remained in force after reunification and has never been renamed. Terms such as “Bundesverfassung” or “Verfassungsvertrag” have no legal standing in Germany.
