The Federal Administrative Court admitted the plaintiff's appeal, granting permission for revision to the Federal Administrative Court, thereby prevailing at the admissibility stage against the lower court's implicit rejection. The dispute concerns the reunification property law, specifically whether a right to mine subsoil minerals that was attached to the land (*grundeigen*) and reclassified as a mine-free mineral under the Unification Treaty and the Federal Mining Act constitutes a property right under the Property Act, whether the mining property granted to the Treuhand Agency represents a returnable property equivalent to the former right, and whether such return is excluded by the nature of the thing. The decisive legal basis involves the interpretation of § 2 Abs. 2, § 4 Abs. 1 Satz 1, and § 6 Abs. 6a Satz 1 of the Property Act (VermG) in conjunction with § 3 Abs. 3 and § 151 of the Federal Mining Act (BBergG) and Article 8 and Annex I of the Unification Treaty.

[GRUENDE]

Die Beschwerde der Klägerin ist begründet. Die Revision ist zuzulassen. In einem Revisionsverfahren können voraussichtlich die von der Beschwerde aufgeworfenen Rechtsfragen geklärt werden, ob ein Recht zum Abbau von Bodenschätzen, das zum Schädigungszeitpunkt grundeigen war und nach Maßgabe von Art. 8 und Anlage I Kapitel V Sachgebiet D Abschnitt III Nr. 1 lit. a Einigungsvertrag als bergfreier Bodenschatz im Sinne des § 3 Abs. 3 BBergG gilt, ein Vermögenswert im Sinne des § 2 Abs. 2 VermG ist, und ob ein der Treuhandanstalt für diesen Bodenschatz verliehenes Bergwerkseigentum, das nach Maßgabe von Art. 8 und Anlage I Kapitel V Sachgebiet D Abschnitt III Nr. 1 lit. d Einigungsvertrag als Bergwerkseigentum im Sinne des § 151 BBergG aufrechterhalten worden ist, ein dem früheren grundeigenen Abbaurecht im Wesentlichen entsprechendes Recht darstellt, das als rückgabefähiger Vermögensgegenstand im Sinne des § 6 Abs. 6a Satz 1 VermG anzusehen ist, sowie ob die Rückübertragung eines solchen Bergwerkseigentums gemäß § 4 Abs. 1 Satz 1 VermG von der Natur der Sache her ausgeschlossen ist.
