¹ The German Civil Service is divided into
two main groups: Beamte (officials) and Angestellte (employees). Beamte are
classified according to four levels Beamte of “unteren Dienstes”
(lower level), “einfachen mittleren Dienstes” (intermediate level),
“gehobenen mittleren Dienstes” (upper level), and “hocheren
Dienstes” (higher level). Angestellte are mainly custodial employees,
workers, and minor clerks, but the term also includes some specialists who do
not have Beamten status.

are usually clerical employees and are usually addressed with the title of
their position (such as “Buerovorsteher,” chief clerk).

“Verwaltungs” “Ministerial,” etc. |
