The law on compulsory auction and compulsory administration ( ZVG ) regulates compulsory auction and compulsory administration as a special procedure for foreclosure on immovable property in Germany.
The law deals with two of the three types of enforcement in a property or right equivalent to real property .
The third type of enforcement is the entry of a security mortgage as a compulsory mortgage in the land register (see § 866 , § 867 , § 870 Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO) ).
The law is systematically part of the compulsory enforcement law of the civil procedure code (see § 869 ZPO).
