Key legal question
Whether Art. 19(1)(c) GestG grants venue at the location of the property for an architect’s contractual fee claim.
Extracted holding
No. A purely contractual claim needs a real-rights nexus; a mere factual connection with the property is insufficient.
Extracted reasoning
Systematic interpretation and legal certainty require an objective venue criterion. Art. 19(1)(c) GestG covers claims concerning rights in land, especially those capable of affecting the land register, not ordinary obligation claims merely related to work on a property.
