Legal advice can show what applies in your case.
Definition
The WiStrG 1954 is the German Economic Offenses Act. Under Section 3, anyone who breaches legal rules on prices or price indications commits an administrative offense, provided those rules refer to this provision; this applies, for example, to the Price Indication Ordinance (Section 20 PAngV). How it applies in an individual case is a matter for legal advice.
