Our Constitution (Grundgesetz) says in Art. 38 (2): Wahlberechtigt ist, wer das achtzehnte Lebensjahr vollendet hat; wählbar ist, wer das Alter erreicht hat, mit dem die Volljährigkeit eintritt.
So you can only be elected when you've attained full age.
Unfortunately I'm not sure which age the "full age" in Germany is, I always thought it would be 21 and not 18...

Yes, I know. But look at 38(3), and after that in the Link I've postet before.
The 21-age is important for criminal law: Under 21 you
can be sentenced after youth criminal law. BTW, I don't know any other limit by the 21-age.
PS: I just saw, this is my 300th post. It's a little bit funny that postings in english Chit Chat are counted but in german's "Rest" they are not.
