WELCOME TO JENA!
We welcome you as a participant of the International Max Planck Research
School on Adapting Behavior in a Fundamentally Uncertain World. The aim of this
brochure is to clear your uncertainty concerning Jena - the place where you will
participate in the Summer School or where you will live for the time of your research
in case you have chosen one of the participating partner institutions here.
Getting there
From the airport to Jena via train
Visitors and students travelling from abroad will usually arrive at Berlin,
Frankfurt/Main, or Munich airport. For flights within Germany, you may also choose
Leipzig or Erfurt as your flight destination. Regardless of where you arrive, you
should take the train to Jena. If you arrive at one of the Berlin airports, please take
the bus or tram (S-Bahn) for Berlin Hauptbahnhof first. There is then a direct train
(approx. 3 hours) from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Jena Paradies.
At Frankfurt/Main Airport, trains leave directly from the airport terminal in
hourly intervals. You are required to change trains once at either Weimar or Erfurt
(approx. 20 and 30 minutes from Jena). Please get off the train at the station JenaWest. The entire trip takes about 4 hours.
From Munich Airport, trains leave from the airport terminal in regular
intervals. First take the express train (S-8) to Munich-Pasing (approx. 50 minutes),
then change once to an ICE-train to Jena. Please get off the train at the station
Jena-Paradies. The entire trip takes about 5 hours.
When planning your air travel to the Institute, please feel free to contact our
staff for advice on your best itinerary.

From Jena train stations to the Max Planck Institute of Economics
Jena-West Station (see 2 on the map on the next page): Cross the square
in front of the station and walk straight ahead down Hohe Straße. At its end walk
down the stairs and take Hainstraße to the right until you reach Felsenkellerstraße.
Follow Felsenkellerstraße uphill. The Max Planck Institute (see 1 on the map on the
next page) is located right at the end of Felsenkellerstraße (walking time about 10
minutes).
ICE-Station Jena-Paradies (see 3 on the map on the next page): JenaParadies is Jena’s newly built train station located at Knebelstraße. Leaving the
station, turn left and walk to the tram stop Phyletisches Museum (about 100 m).
Take Line #2 or 3 towards Winzerla and get off at the next stop already
(Felsenkellerstraße). Cross the street at the traffic lights, turn left and follow
Kahlaische Straße for about 200 m. After the next intersection Sandweg, walk on
for about 3 minutes until you reach the entrance to the Institute on the right hand
side.
If you wish to walk from the station (walking time 20 minutes), leave the
station, cross the street and turn left. Follow the street straight ahead, pass by a
roundabout (after that: Kahlaische Straße). After the traffic light (Felsenkellerstraße)
pass on to the next intersection (Sandweg) and take the steep driveway on your
right hand side to the Max Planck Institute.
Please note: If you take a taxi from the station, make sure to tell the driver to take
you to the Max Planck Institute in Kahlaische Straße 10 since there is more than
one Max Planck Institute in Jena.

THE MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE OF ECONOMICS
The Max Planck Institute of Economics was established in Jena on September
1, 1993 as Max Planck Institute for Research into Economic Systems with the
intention to research the transition of the former socialist economic systems. By now,
research is conducted on a broad set of problems relating to change in modern
economies more generally and experimental economics.
The
institute
hosts
the
Strategic Interaction Group
(Director Werner Güth), the

Max
Planck
School
Behavior

on
in
a
Uncertain
World (IMPRS Uncertainty) as
well
as
the
Evolutionary
Economics Group (Director Ulrich Witt). The institute is part of the Max Planck
Society for the Advancement of Science, one of Germany's leading research
organizations. The Max Planck Society employs over 4,200 researchers in some 80
institutes in both the sciences and the humanities. The Institute offers high research
standards and supports junior researchers. Researchers of the Institute publish in
well recognized journals on a regular basis. Research at the Institute is highly
international: there is a large number of visiting oversea scholars and the Institute
hosts international conferences and major events such as the annual Summer
School. The international and national cooperation with other researchers,
universities and research establishments is also reflected through various joint
projects.

IT and Library
The Max Planck Institute of Economics has a professional and well-equipped
IT Department which is committed to support scientific research. Modern IT
infrastructure and up-to-date communication equipment provides for a stable and
successful operation of the Institute.
The Institute’s library reflects the researchers’ main research interests.
Currently it contains 25.000 books, 5.900 scientific journals, about 190 current
magazines,
CD-ROM
and
the
publications
of
the
institute’s
researchers.
Furthermore, the library offers access to a large number of data bases and electronic
articles.
Please find the library’s regulations in the attachment.

Under the direction of Professor Dr. Werner Güth, the Strategic
Interaction Group took up its scientific activities in summer 2001,
focusing on Game Theory and Experimental Economics. Since
then, numerous papers and publications have appeared in
specialised periodicals and final theses have been presented
illustrating the group’s work.
Prof. Dr. Werner Güth
Director Strategic Interaction Group
Game Theory has influenced Economics and Business Management as well
as other disciplines in many ways and will continue to do so. The question “What
denotes rational behavior?” is asked in many other disciplines, for example in
Philosophy. The question whether or not rational behavior can be justified as a result
of evolution and learning processes is not only discussed in Evolutionary Game
Theory but also along similar lines in Evolutionary Biology. Furthermore,
Experimental Game Theory seeks to explore – mainly following Economic, Cognitive
and Social Psychology approaches – how humans make decisions in strategic
situations. All this raises hopes that Game Theory as a general method throughout
all social sciences will not only help to overcome the barriers between theoretical
economics and business management but also those between economic sciences
and their neighboring disciplines.
Experimental Economics’ research program mainly focuses on examining
and explaining experimental findings by paying attention to the restrictions on human
cognition and data processing. The scientific work consists in observing and
modeling how decisions are generated. Instead of trying this in a more general
approach which would be a purely speculative and hence highly dubious option, the
research activities focus on a limited selection of partially complex, e.g. network
formation games and partially simple structured situations such as portfolio choices
or search tasks. Here, concepts of Social Psychology must be considered as well.
11
Evolutionary Economics
The Evolutionary Economics Research Group
under the direction of Prof. Dr. Ulrich Witt was
founded
in
1995.
This
group
consists
of
researchers with different scientific backgrounds.
They work with a variety of theoretical and
empirical
methods
on
an
interdisciplinary
approach to processes of economic change.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Witt
Director Evolutionary Economics Research
Processes of change occurring in the economy at the institutional,
technological and commercial level are not only adaptive responses to exogenous
shocks. Economic change has evolutionary character where it is driven from inside
the economy by human inventiveness in problem solving and its multitude of
motivations. The transformations of production and governance regimes thus
brought about have shifted the constraints under which the economy operates. The
consequences for economic growth, employment, and consumption are particularly
visible in the longer term historical record. Research conducted in the Evolutionary
Economics Group focuses on these systematic, endogenously caused forms of
economic change and their consequences.
The group continuously organizes workshops and conferences around its
research agenda with internationally renowned scholars as well as an outreach
program for young scientists.
12
The International Max Planck Research School on Adapting
Behavior in a Fundamentally Uncertain World
The Uncertainty School is jointly hosted by the Max Planck Institute of
Economics (Jena), for Human Development (Berlin), for Research on Collective
Goods (Bonn), the Institute of Psychology and School of Economics and Business
Administration at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, and the Institute of
Commercial and Economic Law of the University of Bonn. International Partners are
the Department of Psychology of Indiana University, Bloomington, the Center for
Rationality at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and the Interdepartmental Centre
for Research Training in Economics and Management, CIFREM, of the University of
Trento.
The IMPRS spans three disciplines: Psychology, Economics and Law. On its
own, none of these disciplines is competent enough to generate a truly meaningful
understanding of behavior in a fundamentally uncertain world.
Psychology offers important insights into how subjects react to perceived
fundamental uncertainty. However, most of this knowledge is confined to situations
that are free from strategic interaction and institutional boundaries. Likewise, there is
substantial theoretical and experimental knowledge about strategic interaction in
Economics. Nevertheless, it usually has been generated assuming a fairly certain
world and psychologically naïve individual behavior. Finally, legal scholars and their
companions from institutional analysis and design have generated a vast body of
knowledge on the comparative performance of institutions. But the more
conceptually rigorous this work, the more unrealistic assumptions are made.
13
The aim of the IMPRS is to provide a framework to combine the strengths of
all three disciplines to allow for a more adequate explanation of human decisionmaking behavior under uncertainty. The IMPRS offers participants an outstanding
interdisciplinary three-year PhD program with courses in Economics, Law and
Psychology. All scholars participating will be trained in the essentials of all three
disciplines to acquire an understanding of the perspectives of their counterparts.
Moreover, graduates will deepen their disciplinary and cross-disciplinary knowledge
and expertise.
The IMPRS program comprises an
annual Summer School, local training and
workshops. The Summer School takes
place in Jena for four weeks in July and
August. Graduates are expected to take
part in the Summer Schools for the first two
years and they are invited to join in during
Summer School, 2012
their last year.
More specific and continuous training
will take place at the respective host institution,
where the focus will be on the specific research
topic of the faculty or institute. Each year, two
different workshops are held. The goal of the
Thesis Workshop in spring is to give graduates
the opportunity to present their dissertation
projects to faculty members. The Topics

Topics Workshop in Rotterdam, 2012
Workshop in fall gives then the chance to deepen their knowledge in a particular
field.
At all three IMPRS locations, students will become members of the respective
institutions and thus have the opportunity to interact with scholars from other
disciplines. At the same time, they can participate in the stimulating intellectual life at
the organizations.
14
Concerning funding, each participant will be awarded a scholarship to cover
her or his living expenses. The IMPRS charges no tuition fees. Students are granted
a fully equipped shared office, full access to the libraries and research facilities of the
participating institutions and university departments as well as research funds to
conduct their projects.

„IN JENA LEBT‘ SICH’S BENE“
This German proverb on Jena perfectly describes Life in Jena: “One lives well
in Jena”. The city is situated in the valley of the River Saale, surrounded by
picturesque hills and forests. Its location in the centre of Thuringia makes it easily
accessible via plane, train or car. Nearly
all major cities and airports in Thuringia
as well as in the rest of Germany can
easily be reached from Jena by train.
Hence, historical places like Weimar,
Eisenach or other attractive cities like
Dresden, Berlin or Munich are only a
couple of hours away.
“Size doesn’t matter”
With about 100.000 inhabitants Jena might seem a quite small town.
Sometimes it gets misjudged because of its location and its size. Compared to Bonn
or Berlin, where the other partnering institutions are located, it is of course much
smaller and you might fear life could become boring. However, exactly the opposite
is the case. The town really is a jewel, a thriving place, offering you a large range of
possibilities and options. You will soon come to realize that, here, you can find
everything you need for feeling at ease. It is a place with a vibrant history (even
Napoleon sort of made his way to Jena) and an exciting present. It has been an
academic town since the foundation of the university in 1558, which has been at the
heart of the city’s life ever since. The students and academics are the group shaping
the city the most and it is not surprising then, that you will find Jena to be a very
student-friendly city, with a lot of activities and discounts for students! Additionally,
the University of Jena has always been a center of innovation and you will find this
spirit alive throughout the university and the city. You will not need to worry about
feeling lonely or having a hard time to meet new people. The atmosphere at the Max
Planck Institute for Economics is very sociable and characterized by openness and
20
21
are an interesting mixture of science, information and entertainment!
And if you ever feel like you need some time off from the hustle and bustle,
you can reach the surrounding countryside within ten minutes by bus or train and
spend a relaxing day off within the hills, forests and meadows. Concerning security,
Jena is a safe place to live at, with Thuringia often being rated among the safest
federal states in Germany. Thus, coming here means that you do not have to worry
about anything except about how to take part in the countless options this city
provides.
The Germans…
Unlike the common belief that the Germans are a strange people eating
sausages and sauerkraut all the time, they are quite nice. Hospitality matters to
Germans and you will soon see yourself how friendly and helpful they are. Germany
has been an immigration country for ages and you will find this
international flair in Jena, because students, employees, researchers
and business people from all over the world come here. Besides,
there is more about German cuisine than sausages and sauerkraut and you should
definitely have a try at finding out what the taste of Germany is like. Especially
regional varieties like “Thüringer Klöße” (dumplings) are worth trying.
Be warned about bureaucracy and gracefully gain some expertise in filling
out forms correctly. Concerning punctuality - yes, it is considered polite to be on
time when you have an appointment and if public transport is not on time people
easily become annoyed. Get early advice on the complex and affectionately colourcoded German way to separate waste. Make sure your fridge is equipped with all
things necessary by Saturday afternoon, since all shops are closed on Sundays
(only minor exceptions, which are not worth to be mentioned). When it
comes to the orderliness, there are probably just as many people in
Germany who prefer systematic chaos as there are in the rest of the
world. Still, there are some rules people simply stick to, like watching
22
the traffic lights: Wait for the little green man to show, even when you KNOW it would
be safe to cross. If you feel people are remarkably rude, this is because Germans
are very direct and tend to say what they think in a seemingly blatant manner. Try
not to take it personal and instead talk it over while you are having a cool beer
together, because the quality of German beer is a stereotype on the positive side
which we can confirm to be true. Finally, Germans do have a sense of humor
(maybe it just does not translate very well…), a very good one actually, and there are
many possibilities to find out about this. However, when coming to Germany you will
soon realize yourself that the Germans are definitely a people worth getting to know!
23
There’s more than this
In the following there are a listed a few steps you should take in preparation of
your stay in Jena. Moreover, the University of Jena has also set up a website that is
aimed at foreign students coming to Jena. Here you will find more detailed
information on the points mentioned. If you still have questions, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
24

House Rules at the Max Planck Institute of Economics
In case of emergency, accident prevention regulations distributed by the German
Administrative Trade Association as well as emergency telephone numbers are posted
throughout the office and service areas of the buildings.
Security
In the last few years, several thefts in our house were registered. Therefore, we ask all
colleagues of the institute for observation of the following safety measures:
• Persons not belonging to the institute are to be admitted exclusively through the
reception. The reception is busy until 18:00 o’clock, on Friday until 16:00 o’clock.
• Always close the entrance doors and make sure that no objects prevent the closing of
these doors.
Leaving the rooms
When leaving the rooms of the institute, especially the labs, switch off the appliances and
the light and lock up the rooms.
Driving on institute grounds
The use of any type of motor vehicle on the grounds of the institute is strictly prohibited.
Employees may park on the lower level and guests on the upper level of the MPI park
deck located across the Sandweg. The institute may not be held liable for personal
belongings brought onto the grounds or into the buildings, including any type of vehicle
parked in our lot.
Use of institute facilities
The MPI facilities and furnishings are to be used only for their intended purposes. Any
damages or losses thereof are to be reported immediately to a person in a supervisory
position, for instance someone in the administration.
Institute equipment and materials should only be used for work purposes and should not
be removed from their places. Temporary private use is only possible with written
permission.
Only the caretaker is allowed to drive nails longer than 2 cm into the walls. There are data
cables behind the wall, which could be destroyed. In case of contravention the causer is
liable to any damage.
53
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed within the buildings of the institute. If smoking causes the fire alarm
to be triggered the person(s) responsible will have to cover any ensuing costs.
Use of kitchen utensils, especially microwave appliances
By the careless use of kitchen utensils, especially of microwave appliances, the automatic
release of fire alarm can be caused. With the release of fire alarm immense charges are
involved, arrival of the fire brigade and others.
The person who is responsible for the release of fire alarm by the careless use of kitchen
utensils has to pay all ensuing costs.
Cafeteria
The cafeteria area is leased by a private enterprise. All of the normal house rules apply in
the eating and restroom areas during and out of normal meal times.
Seminar rooms
To prevent scheduling collisions, capacity for seminar rooms should be reserved duly in
time. Timely notice should also be given to the administration if events are planned beyond
normal gate service hours (Monday to Thursday until 6pm and Friday until 4pm). Our
reception point will be on duty as may be required in such cases until the particular event
has ended.
Elevator use
The elevator is working twenty four hours a day. On hearing the emergency bell please
call the janitor (int. 985) or Mr. Rosenstengel (int. 910).
Action in case of fire
On hearing the fire alarm all personnel must leave the building immediately by the nearest
safe exit by following the escape route signs.
54
When clear of the building proceed to the designated assembly point for proof of identity.
The assembly point is the footpath from Kahlaische Straße to the institute or the meadow
below the cafeteria – person’s control.
Each employee must ensure that he/she is familiar with the Fire Action Notices and the
escape routes, i.e. the “Brandschutzordnung” to be found in each department as well as
with the alarm plan and first aid plan.
Emergency exits
The emergency exits of the institute should not be blocked at any time.
Waste sorting and discarding

software
such as viruses; anti-relay and anti-SPAM measures for e-mails, firewall and the coding
of sensitive data
(3) The IT Department shall adopt the necessary technical and organizational measures to
ensure that only persons with a valid user authorization will be able to use the IT
infrastructure. If technically possible, the IT Department shall ensure that the use of the IT
infrastructure will no longer be possible upon termination of a temporary user
authorization.
(4) The computer centre staff shall take care, within the scope of their tasks pursuant to
paragraphs 1 and 2, that the pertinent rules of the applicable works agreements and the
central works agreement are complied with.
Section 4: Rights and obligations of the computer centre
(1) The MPI IT department shall maintain a user file specifying user authorizations,
including user and mail identification codes as well as the names and addresses of
authorized users.
(2) The computer centre shall be authorized to deactivate and delete all of the user's data
and programs upon termination of the user authorization. Deletion may only take place
after having ascertained that the data will be of no further use to the institute and that the
user was given the opportunity to secure his/her data.
57
(3) Following termination of the user authorization, incoming e-mails shall be
forwarded for the duration of six months to an e-mail address specified in writing by
the user. If the user fails to specify any address, or upon termination of the six-month
period, incoming e-mails will be rejected.
(4) If so required for fault elimination, system administration and extension, or for
reasons of system security, as well as for the protection of user data, the IT
department may temporarily restrict the use of its resources or deactivate individual
user IDs. If possible, the users concerned are to be notified in advance of any such
actions.
(5) If there are concrete grounds to suppose that a user has acquired unlawful data
access via the IT infrastructure, or that a user is storing unlawful contents on the
computer center’s servers for his/her use, the centre may prevent any further use
until the legal implications have been sufficiently clarified. The same shall apply to
any other contents that could lastingly harm the MPG's reputation in public.
(6) The IT department shall be authorized to adopt regular measures to review the
security of system/user passwords and user data, and to carry out necessary
protection measures (e.g. deactivate authorization in the case of easily decipherable
passwords) in order to safeguard IT resources and user data against unauthorized
access by third parties. Should user-specific protection measures become
necessary, the user is to be notified immediately.
(7) According to the following rules, the computer centre shall be authorized to
document and evaluate the individual user's application of the IT systems non
personalized - however, only insofar as this is necessary
1. to ensure orderly system operation or
2. to plan resources and administer the systems or
3. to protect the personal data of other users
The IT department shall be authorized to document and evaluate the individual
user’s application of the IT systems personalized, if this is necessary
1. to account for expenses or
2. to detect and eliminate faults or
3. to clarify and prevent unlawful, in particular criminal, use.
58
(8) Subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 5, the IT department shall also be
authorized to inspect user files, with due regard to data secrecy, provided this is
required to correct current faults, or to clarify and prevent any form of misuse. The
inspection of message and e-mail mailboxes, however, is permissible only if this is
imperative for current fault recovery in message services. In any case, such
inspection must be documented and the user concerned must be notified
immediately after the intended purpose has been achieved.
(9) Subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 5, the call and user data in
connection with message transmission (notably mail applications) may also be
documented. However, only the direct circumstances of the telecommunication - but
not the private contents thereof - may be recorded, processed and used. The call
and user data in connection with online activities in the Internet and other
teleservices which the IT department provides to the user, or to which the IT
department provides user access, are to be deleted as soon as possible - at the
latest, immediately after use, with the exception of account settlement data.
(10) According to the relevant statutory provisions, the computer centre is obliged to
safeguard telecommunications and data secrecy. The IT department is particularly
obliged to safeguard the MPG’s central works agreement (section 2).
Section 5: User authorization
(1) Users have the right to use the infrastructure within the scope of these User
Regulations in accordance with the user authorization granted to them in writing (cf.
paragraph 3 below).
(2) Every user at the institute has the right to use the IT infrastructure as far as
his/her work is concerned and as far as he/she follows the user regulations. A user
gives his written permission analogue to the agreement on the publishing of personal
data at the website of the MPI ECONOMICS (see annex 2). Users, who are not
members of the MPI ECONOMICS shall be obliged to fill in and sign a request form
(annex 1). The application shall be accepted only if the form has been filled out
correctly and the required user declarations have been given in writing.
(3) The user authorization may be granted for a limited period of time or restricted to
a specific purpose
Section 6: Withdrawal of the user authorization
(1) According to its reasonably exercised discretion, the IT department may
subsequently withdraw a user authorization. Similarly it may subsequently restrict
said authorization. Such withdrawal or restriction can be of a temporary, permanent
or precautionary nature. The user application may be withdrawn or restricted above
all if
59
1. users have violated these User Regulations, in particular the obligations set out
under Section 7, or
2. users have abused the MPI's IT resources to commit criminal offences or
3. users have through some other form of unlawful user conduct been detrimental to
the MPG or
4. There are reasons to suppose that users will in future commit a violation as
defined in items 1 to 3.
(2) The person concerned should be given the opportunity to state his/her own
position prior to the withdrawal of the user authorization, provided the ultimate
purpose is not jeopardized as a result. The person concerned may, , request the IT
committee at the MPI ECONOMICS to mediate. In any case, he/she should be given
the opportunity to secure his/her data, provided their content is not of an unlawful or
criminal nature.
(3) Temporary user restrictions are to be repealed as soon as orderly use again
appears guaranteed.
(4) A permanent user restriction or the complete debarment of a user from further
use may be considered in the case of serious or repeated violations as defined in
paragraph 1 thereof especially if proper conduct is also not to be expected in the
future.
Section 7: User obligations
(1) Users are required to refrain from any unlawful user conduct or conduct deemed
inappropriate according to generally valid ethical standards. Over and above this,
they are to refrain from any user conduct that could harm the MPG's reputation in
public.
(2) In particular, users are obliged
1. to observe the provisions of the User Regulations and to adhere to the restrictions
specified in the user authorization;
2. to refrain from any action that is detrimental to the orderly operation of the MPI's IT
facilities;
3. to treat all data processing equipment, information and communication systems
and other facilities of the computer centre with utmost care;
4. to work exclusively with the user ID codes permitted within the scope of the user
authorization;
60
5. to ensure that no other persons obtain knowledge of the user passwords and to
take precautions to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the IT resources of
the IT department, also including access protection via a secret and appropriate
password, i.e. which is difficult to decipher and shall be altered at regular intervals;
6. to refrain from ascertaining or using other persons' ID codes and passwords;
7. to refrain from the unauthorized accessing of other users' information and from
passing on, using or altering, without prior consent, any other users' information that
may have become known;
8. to comply with the statutory regulations (in particular those governing protection by
copyright) when using software, documentation and other data, this applying
analogously to the contractual provisions (in particular license conditions) under
which software, documentation and data are provided by the computer centre;

Section 8: User liability
(1) The liability and indemnity obligations of users who are MPG employees shall be
subject to the liability provisions agreed by employment contract and to the general
liability principles under labor law. The following paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 shall apply to
users who are not MPG employees.
(2) The user shall be liable for all damages suffered by the MPG owing to a culpable
infringement of his/her obligations under these User Regulations.
3) The user shall also be liable for damages resulting from third-party use of the
access and user options granted to him/her, if he/she is accountable for such thirdparty use, especially in the case of disclosure of his/her user ID to third persons. In
such case, the MPG shall be able to demand a charge for third-party use from the
user, with the assertion of any further indemnification claims not ruled out as a result.
(4) The user shall indemnify the MPG from all claims asserted by third parties
against the MPG resulting from the user's culpable infringement of his/her obligations
under this User Regulation.
Section 9: Liability of the MPG
62
(1) The MPG shall assume no guarantee for the fault-free and continuous operation
of the system. A possible loss of data due to system failures, as well as the
acquisition of confidential data through unauthorized third-party access, cannot be
ruled out.
(2) The MPG shall assume no responsibility for the accuracy of the programs it
provides. Nor shall the MPG be liable for the contents, in particular the accuracy,
completeness and up-to-datedness, of the information to which it merely provides
user access.
(3) Otherwise, the MPG shall be liable only for damage caused intentionally or by
gross negligence on the part of its staff, unless a culpable infringement of essential
cardinal duties is given. In the latter case, the MPG shall also be liable for simple
negligence; however, such liability shall be restricted to typical damages which were
predictable at the time the user relationship was established.
