The law has essentially changed in the "New German States" (in former times "East-Germany") since the unification of East- and West-Germany on the 3rd of October 1990. The civil code ("Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch = BGB") is now valid for all working conditions. But due to the "Unification Treaty" the regulations regarding the hospital liability ("Materielle Verantwortlichkeit der Gesundheitseinrichtung = mVGe") are still existing until the 31st of December 1991. Now, however, it is possible that in case of malpractice the patient may claim the employed physician directly liable.
自1990年10月3日东德和西德统一以来，“新德国各州”（以前的“东德”）的法律已发生了本质变化。现在，民法典（《德国民法典》）适用于所有工作条件。但根据《统一条约》，有关医院责任（“医疗机构的物质责任”）的规定在1991年12月31日前仍然有效。然而，现在如果发生医疗事故，患者有可能直接要求受雇医生承担责任。
