Finder's fee claims/reimbursement of expenses
You must request claims for finder's fees or reimbursement of expenses independently from the owner of the item you found. According to Section 971 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the finder's fee depends on the value of the item: 5% up to EUR 500 and 3% from EUR 500.
Acquisition of ownership after the expiry of the storage period is excluded in the following cases:
The legislature has made different regulations in Section 978 BGB, paragraph 2, for finds in business premises or means of transport of public authorities (police, district offices, customer centers, specialist offices, etc.) and transport companies (subways and buses). Here you will receive half of the statutory finder's fee for items worth at least EUR 50.
The acquisition of ownership or the right to a finder's fee for items found in private business premises. This applies, for example, to savings banks, banks, theaters, exhibition rooms, department stores, restaurants and other rooms accessible to a larger group of the public, and taxis are only possible if a written waiver from the business owner is available.
According to case law, in these cases you are not to be seen as a finder, but as a discoverer.
- Hand in lost property
- A lost property must be handed in immediately if its current value exceeds EUR 10.
