German official decisions end with a Rechtsbehelfsbelehrung, a notice on how to object. A typical one reads: Gegen diese Entscheidung ist der Widerspruch gegeben, der innerhalb eines Monats bei der Stadt Rottenburg am Neckar … An objection to this decision may be filed within one month with the town of Rottenburg am Neckar, followed by the address and the form. The deadline starts only if the person was told in writing where and by when to object. If the notice is missing or wrong, the one-month period becomes one year.
