are usually based on the employee service period and the beneficiary’s salary. The direct and indirect
obligations include both current pension obligations and future pension and retirement benefit obligations.

some defined contribution plans. The defined contribution plans principally concern German entities that
are required by law to transfer contributions to the national pension insurance company. Contributions of
T€ 49,974 were paid to the national pension insurance company in Germany (previous year: T€ 49,181).
The defined benefit plans are calculated using the projected unit credit method in accordance with IAS 19.
The benefit obligations are recognized at service cost as of the measurement date. The benefit obligation
for active employees increases annually by the interest cost plus the present value of the new benefit entit-
