  • Klar lesbar in derselben Sprache wie der Werbeinhalt (Deutsch)
  • Bei Videos als On-Screen-Text und/oder verbal hörbar
  • Nicht in einer Hashtag-Wand am Ende versteckt

⚠ Penalties for non-compliance

Verstöße gegen § 5a UWG werden von Wettbewerbsverbänden zivilrechtlich durchgesetzt. Abmahnungen, Unterlassungsklagen und Vertragsstrafen sind die typischen Folgen. Die Wettbewerbszentrale betreibt aktiv Verfahren gegen nicht-konforme Influencer und Marken; Streitwerte regelmäßig im fünfstelligen Bereich.

UWG §5a (2022 amendment) + Medienstaatsvertrag §22 (5th amendment effective 1 October 2024)

OLG / Wettbewerbszentrale / Landesmedienanstalten · 2024

Germany requires explicit German-language disclosure of any paid promotional content under §5a Abs. 4 + §5a Abs. 6 UWG (2022 amendment) and §22(1) Medienstaatsvertrag (MStV). The 5th MStV amendment effective 1 October 2024 aligns the framework with the EU Digital Services Act. The Wettbewerbszentrale (Centre Against Unfair Competition) and the Landesmedienanstalten actively monitor and pursue non-compliant influencers. Generic English hashtags (#ad, #sponsored) are not recognised as sufficient by German courts.
