Nope, the criminal code forbids abortion, but doesn't punish it in some circumstance (within some months of pregnancy, after a counselling session and some time for thinking it over etc.)
There are huge debates to make it more legal by turning this around or clearer restricting in criminal code.
- treffer 4y agoHrm, looked it up out of curiosity... §218a lists that it is not a crime under certain circumstances ("Tatbestand des § 218 ist nicht verwirklicht, wenn"), but the heading of that one is "Straflosigkeit", so "no punishment". IANAL but this reads like it is not a crime under the listed conditions. Which is different from no punishment.
