Eine Bitte an ein höheres Gericht, eine Entscheidung noch einmal zu prüfen.
The German word "Berufung" is a noun with two main meanings:
- Calling/Vocation: Derived from the verb rufen ("to call"), it refers to a person's strong inclination towards a profession or life's work.
- Appeal (legal): In a legal context, "Berufung" means an appeal made against a court decision.
Similar words:
- For "calling": Beruf (profession), Leidenschaft (passion)
- For "appeal": Revision (review), Beschwerde (complaint)
Differences:
- Berufung as a calling implies a deeper personal or spiritual motivation than simply a job (Beruf).
- As a legal term, Berufung is a formal appeal, typically a higher-level review, whereas Revision may refer to a more specific or limited reassessment of a decision.
