In the Loriot stamps case decision the Landgericht Berlin decided that § 5 Abs. 1 UrhG only applies for literary works (Sprachwerke) and not for works of the visual arts (Werke der bildenden Kunst)
 * Invalid PD reason. The copyright to a badge is not affected by a country ceasing to exist. Stefan2 (talk) 13:54, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. The copyright belongs to the uploader who took the photo. The comment about the GDR is irrelevant and should be removed. --Bermicourt (talk) 07:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The photographer only holds the copyright to the photo but not to the badge. See Commons:COM:DW. --Stefan2 (talk) 09:28, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment (leaning Keep) West-German copyright rules apply per the unification treaty between West and East Germany for all former East German works. The West-German "Ehrenkreuz der Bundeswehr" (as similar example) is under "PD-GermanGov" on Commons. The PD-reason should probably be changed. GermanJoe (talk) 09:49, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * According to Commons:Commons:WikiProject Public Domain/German stamps review, a German court decided that PD-GermanGov only applies to text. This is not text.
 * Stefan2 (talk) 12:30, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It refers to texts (§ 5 Abs. 1 UrhG) or in the next section to other works published "for the attention of the general public" as a matter of official concern (§ 5 Abs. 2 UrhG). But either way, with no case example at hand it may be impossible to make a qualified decision here. This link [] has a bit more background info. GermanJoe (talk) 14:23, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
