The Federal Administrative Court (German: Bundesverwaltungsgericht, German pronunciation: [bʊndəsfɛɐ̯ˈvaltʊŋsɡəˌʁɪçt] ⓘ) is one of the five federal supreme courts of Germany. It is the court of the last resort for generally all cases of administrative law, mainly disputes between citizens and the state. It hears appeals from the Oberverwaltungsgerichte, or Superior Administrative Courts, which, in turn, are the courts of appeals for decisions of the Verwaltungsgerichte (administrative courts).
