In Germany , the Unification Treaty limited the application of many norms of federal law partly to the territory of the former Federal Republic and partly to the accession area. According to Art. 124 and Art. 125 of the Basic Law , laws that were enacted by the German states between the end of the German Reich on May 8, 1945 and September 7, 1949, were partial federal law, insofar as they were enacted under the Basic Law in the legislative competence of the federal government fell. In parts of many German states, laws that date from the time of their predecessor states continue to apply as partial state law. After amalgamations, the local law of the dissolved communities for their area remains in force for at least a transitional period until a new regulation for the entire community area, sometimes the permanent validity is agreed in an amalgamation contract.
