Mediabiz on Deindexing

The Mediabiz.de site has posted an article (GLT English - original German here) about Rammstein's court victory over the BPjM. The GLT translator had the same awful problems with this as with the ruling report on the lawyers' site, but one new piece of information jumped out at me on page two: the BPjM has two weeks to respond:
The BPjM have the opportunity, so bad lawyer to appeal within two weeks against the decision of the Cologne Administrative Board of the Higher Administrative Court Münster.

This leads me to think that maybe if they don't go back to the court in Münster within a fortnight then the removal from the index is permanent. If there are any German lawyers reading this please do advise me.

  1. They can appeal in Münster against the Cologne court´s interims decision* to take the record off the index, while waiting (no one can say at this time,how long it will take) for the Cologne court to come to a final ruling.
    After the final ruling from the Cologne court,there is the possibility to appeal,that as well at the Higher Administrative Court Münster (but what would be the point by then?).

    I´m not a lawyer,but that is what the article says in combination (last sentence) with my layman's knowledge of the German legal system.

    *they make interims decisions,if there is strong evidence,that the finale ruling will go in a certain direction,in order to minimize the damage.
