Geht die Rechtsverordnung dem Verwaltungsakt als lex superior vor?

Does the German Rechtsverordnung take precedence over the German Verwaltungsakt as lex superior? The question raised in the title of the essay turns out to be more complicated than the initial impression suggests. Using an example (see 1.) within the scope of the Infection Protection Act (IfSG), the question was specified. After presenting the legal pyramid and classifying executive actions within it, the question arose regarding the existence of a priority of abstract-general law (see 2.). According to the explanations in this essay, there is no general priority of abstract-general law (see 3. and 4.). Since the IfSG itself does not regulate the hierarchy it is assumed in the example that the Rechtsverordnung and the German Allgemeinverfügung are of equal rank. Therefore, the Rechtsverordnung is not considered lex superior. The general Allgemeinverfügung is to be applied as lex posterior and, in the absence of indications of violations of Article 3(1) of the German Constitution (GG), is also considered lawful. The answer to the question, »Does the German Rechtsverordnung take precedence over the German Verwaltungsakt as lex superior?« is: »It depends.« Those who follow the arguments in this essay can affirm the question only if there is a parliamentary legislative basis for superiority. Those who advocate for the priority of abstract-general law can also affirm the question only if the Rechtsverordnung is simultaneously abstract-general law (see both 2.c)).
