  I agree with the goal but unless you create the petition using the official Bundestag website, this is about as useful as a thumbs up on Facebook.

  If you make a petition with the official website and it passes they have to deal with it, even if its a rejection.

  What does it mean for volunteering to be "recognized" in Germany?

    Certain reimbursements/allowances for volunteering are treated favorably for tax purposes if conditions are met, e.g. ehrenamtspauschale (volunteer allowance)

    Tax exempts (I'm not a German, but I was curious about the same and this is what ChatGPT told me :) )
