Has anyone won a labor court case (Kündigungsschutzklage) against an employer and been reinstated? What was the outcome for PR/residency?

[u/abhi0002]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently locked in an ongoing legal dispute with my employer (Kündigungsschutzklage) after receiving a termination notice. My goal right now is to maintain active, valid employment status until I secure my Permanent Residency (Niederlassungserlaubnis) or land a new job.

​My main questions for anyone who has been through this:

​Has anyone actually fought their case all the way to a court judgment (Urteil) and received formal reinstatement (Weiterbeschäftigung)?

​What was the workplace environment like after returning, and did the employer attempt to settle or buy you out right after?

​How did the Ausländerbehörde handle your residence permit / PR status while the labor court lawsuit was active or after reinstatement was ordered?

​Any personal experiences, timeline details, or tips on navigating both the Labor Court (Arbeitsgericht) and the Ausländerbehörde simultaneously would be greatly appreciated!
