> After a successful Nichtzulassungsbeschwerde you still have to win the case, and only legal arguments will be considered by the court, i.e. you cannot enter facts not already discussed in the lower instance, introduce new witnesses etc.

Interesting.

Not only can anyone appeal all the way to the supreme court in the USA (they still have to decide to take it up however) but people can also file "cert" to have the case be skipped all the way to the supreme court to decide the "questions presented" or the supreme court can even invoke "original jurisdiction" and have the case be heard directly from the beginning (this one is a nuclear option tho so has limitations).

Of course, all the pros/cons apply with such a system.

Off to nolife wikipedia on how the european court systems work including what courts are higher than each countries courts etc.
