Federal Social Court

The Federal Social Court is the German federal court of appeals for social security cases, mainly cases concerning the public health insurance, long-term care insurance, pension insurance and occupational accident insurance schemes. Trial courts for these cases are the Sozialgerichte. Appeals against decisions of these courts are heard by the Landessozialgerichte, before the cases may wind up at the Bundessozialgericht.

The Bundessozialgericht is located in the city of Kassel.
