In the many arbitration proceedings that Hans-Walter Schmidt carried out, the vast majority of disputes were resolved amicably and therefore out of court.

DirAG Dr. In his words of thanks, Heinemann once again emphasized the importance of the arbitration office in ensuring legal peace. The regional anchoring of out-of-court dispute resolution - a community member makes suggestions to other community members on how to resolve a conflict - offers the opportunity to create acceptance among the affected citizens in a different way than a court decision could.
