In this second step you get to know how claim your rights! But dont waste any time: You only have 3 weeks to file a termination protection lawsuits to object against your termination! It might even make sense to skip step 2 and directly go to step 3 (filing a lawsuit).
Quote from Lawyer Martin Bechert (translated with deepl.com):
The employee can defend himself/herself against a dismissal before the labour court by bringing an action for protection against dismissal. The action must be brought no later than three weeks after receipt of the written notice of dismissal, otherwise the dismissal is deemed to be effective. Most actions for protection against dismissal end with a settlement, with which the employment relationship is terminated with payment of a severance package.
