Wiedereinsetzung in den vorigen Stand

If you missed a deadline through no fault of your own — for example because you were in hospital — you can ask to be treated as if you had met it. Apply in writing, usually within two weeks after the obstacle ends, explain the reason with proof, and catch up on the missed action (e.g. the Widerspruch itself) at the same time.

In plain German

Wenn Sie eine Frist ohne eigene Schuld verpasst haben, können Sie eine zweite Chance beantragen.

What it means

If you missed a deadline through no fault of your own — for example because you were in hospital — you can ask to be treated as if you had met it. Apply in writing, usually within two weeks after the obstacle ends, explain the reason with proof, and catch up on the missed action (e.g. the Widerspruch itself) at the same time.

إذا فاتتك مهلة قانونية دون خطأ منك، مثلًا بسبب دخولك المستشفى، يمكنك طلب معاملتك وكأنك التزمت بها. قدّم الطلب كتابيًا خلال أسبوعين عادةً من زوال العائق، مع شرح السبب وإرفاق إثبات، وقم في الوقت نفسه بالإجراء الذي فاتك، كتقديم الاعتراض نفسه.

As it appears in letters

Ihr Antrag auf Wiedereinsetzung in den vorigen Stand wurde geprüft und abgelehnt, da kein unverschuldetes Hindernis vorlag.
