Service title
The service designation is the abstract designation of the desired office designation of a German civil servant . The civil servant has a service title during the preparatory service in the status of civil servant on revocation. This results for federal officials from § 11 Federal raceway Regulation (BLV) and for federal law enforcement officers from § 5 para. 2 Federal police career Regulation (BPolLV) and for state officials from the appropriate regulations of the country officials law as well as a reversal conclusion from § 8 , para. 3 BeamtStG .
During the probationary period as a probationary civil servant, civil servants hold an official title. For state officials, this results from Section 8 (3) BeamtStG and for federal officials from Section 10 (3) BBG . Both standards regulate word for word:
- "With the establishment of a civil servant relationship on probation, for life and for a limited period, an office is awarded at the same time."
Before the reform of the service law in 2009, civil servants had a service title rather than an official title during their career-related probationary period. They were only given an office when they were appointed after the probationary period in accordance with the career law (externally recognizable by the omission of the addition “for employment”). The employment could also take place before the permanent civil servant status, if the civil servants successfully completed the probationary period under probationary law, but had not yet reached the age of 27 necessary for a permanent civil servant employment.
In the external service , the service designation Attaché / Attachée is used in the preparatory service for the career of the higher service .
The job titles are determined by federal and state career regulations. Official titles for federal civil servants are determined by the Federal President or by a body authorized by him or by a legally authorized body. In the federal states , the official designation is determined by the competent authority under state law.
