But you can not be elected into the "Bundestag".
I can. I am 21 years old.

Excuse me, but I'm sure, you are not right. Look at this: BeingElected . Maybe you think about our "First Man" in the State ("Bundespräsident") ? You can only be elected for this position if you are 40 years old.
But maybe there is another reason why Bryceman cannot be elected for the parliament.

BTW, I get the 31 stage.

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.

Okay, I see. I also don't know any other limit by the 21-age in Germany, only this youth-criminal-law-limit, but I think this limit caused me to think that you are at full age with 21 years...

Well, I found the right article. It is in §2 BGB --> full-age with 18. But I do not understand, why this article is in the BGB. I felt this would be something like marital status (--> Microsoft Lexirom) ("Personenstand")
