  text: This research note links the legal framework of the insolvency process of
    German firms to the information available in the newly-constructed insol database.
    In particular, the database contains information from documents published by German
    insolvency courts in period 2005- 2022. This research note first presents the
    insolvency process with steps and events of the process as determined by the Insolvency
    Law (InsO). Next, it classifies the documents to specific steps and events, and
    then presents their information content using textual analysis. Specifically,
    we identify target phrases via manual document checks and then create regular
    expressions for the target phrases. Classification of documents allows us to sketch
    most common paths that insolvent firms go through.
