These are frequently headings to the final paragraphs on a divorce decree.Tatbestand = facts of the case

Entscheidungsgründe = Reasons for the decision

It sounds like your couple has waived their rights to these explanations, so the decree is issued without them.

agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: Exactly. The parties have the option to ask for the full' ( incl. Facts and Reasons) or 'short' form of the divorce decree. Here, they chose the latter.
