Quellenorgane

Quellenorgane are a concept primarily found in German legal terminology, particularly within administrative law. They refer to public bodies or authorities that are responsible for issuing or publishing official notices, announcements, or regulations. These organs act as the official source of information for the public regarding legal provisions, administrative decisions, or other matters of public interest.

The specific nature and designation of a Quellenorgan can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of information being disseminated. For instance, a ministry might be the Quellenorgan for new legislation, while a local government office could be the Quellenorgan for zoning changes. The key characteristic is that the body in question is officially designated to communicate information that has legal or public significance.

The role of Quellenorgane is crucial for transparency and legal certainty. By designating specific bodies as the official sources, it ensures that the public can reliably access and be informed about important matters. This prevents confusion and provides a clear point of reference for individuals and businesses seeking to understand their rights and obligations. The publications or announcements made by Quellenorgane are often considered authoritative and legally binding.
