Key legal question
Whether the appeal was timely and admissible despite prior publication in the official gazette
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible; although the situation had been published earlier, the later formal decision could still be challenged in time.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the official gazette publication made the legal situation clear, but the Oberamt still issued a formal decision on 28 November 2016, which was separately appealable and timely attacked.
