(1) The insolvency court in whose district the debtor’s place of general jurisdiction is located has exclusive local jurisdiction. If the centre of the debtor’s self-employed business activity is located elsewhere, the insolvency court in whose district such place is located has exclusive jurisdiction.
(2) If, in the last six months prior to filing the request, the debtor has made use of any of the instruments referred to in section 29 of the Company Stabilisation and Restructuring Act (Unternehmensstabilisierungs- und -restrukturierungsgesetz), then that court also has local jurisdiction which was competent, as the restructuring court, in respect of those measures.
(3) If several courts have jurisdiction, the court first requested to open insolvency proceedings rules out any other jurisdiction.
