    Within German contract law, the principle of being bound by a contract (pacta sunt servanda), i.e. the obligation to fulfill agreements, applies.

    Deutsches Insolvenzrecht - Übersicht zum Insolvenzanfechtungsrecht German Insolvency Law - Overview of Insolvency Challenge Rights
    2017-04-20

    Um die Insolvenzmasse zu erhöhen, ermöglicht das Insolvenzanfechtungsrecht dem Insolvenzverwalter, unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen auf Werte zuzugreifen, derer sich der Schuldner vor der Stellung des Antrags auf Eröffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens zu Lasten einzelner oder aller Gläubiger entäußert hat. The insolvency challenge rights give the insolvency administrator, under certain prerequisites, access to assets which the debtor disposed of to the detriment of the creditors prior to the filing for insolvency, thus increasing the insolvency estate.
