Additionally, I was referring to the insolvency clause, with us for example like this, not to have to dispute ownership with an insolvency administrator

You actually always argue with insolvency administrators. Unfortunately, this is the legal field (aside from administrative law) where the most arrogant know-it-alls accumulate. "In case of doubt, in favor of the administrator" would be a cheeky simplification, but basically that is a fundamental tenor of insolvency law. Defensive clauses are only worth as much as they come from a very experienced specialist (and even then, you have to prepare for legal proceedings). For the judges involved, this is not a pleasant area either. But feel free to provide an example of your insolvency clause and report in which year it was considered sufficiently effective.

The photo of the clause with a warning to me was removed. Now in text from 2018, "Dem AG steht das Recht zu, den Vertrag aus wichtigem Grunde zu kündigen, wenn der AN Antrag auf Eröffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens oder eines vergleichbaren Verfahrens stellt." This clause should immediately and legally separate us from the GU.

From the exercise of the right of termination, probably yes. However, until then services will already have been received, to which the famous double standard is applied: as a creditor, the client is served later with patience and then according to the quota, as a debtor, however, immediately and in full. Set-offs are not possible, absolutely not 1:1 as would correspond to the legal understanding of the lay client, that regularly causes disputes. Such a clause is therefore only "really secure" for the client who smells the rat before any service by the contractor has been rendered. Practically, this means: the client must check insolvency announcements daily in order to be able to terminate before performance begins. Even well-informed businessmen do not always manage this. And as you rightly pointed out, it only serves as an additional measure; it cannot replace a completion guarantee.

According to the lawyer, it is a problem to get out of the contract at all in the event of [Insolvenz], and it would continue to apply.
