Former civil servants receive a pension. The individual monthly amount depends, among other things, on the length of service, the activity and the last salary group.

The term official pension is actually out of date. If civil servants retire, the state or the employer pays the civil servant pension. Since the federalism reform in service law, most of the federal states have transferred the previous federal law into state law with the same content or have passed completely independent laws. The pension payments are part of the personnel costs and are paid solely by the public employer and directly from the current budget. That is why pensioners are called pension recipients in official German. The group of pension recipients also includes widows and orphans.
