As a company or consumer, you are dependent on your account. If your account has been blocked, frozen or unlawfully debited, part of your financial sovereignty is lost. As a lawyer, I can help you take action against legal problems in banking and capital market law. I take action against the tax office and banks and obtain a temporary injunction for short-term access or an unblocking of the account . In particularly urgent cases this can be done within a few hours.
If there is a suspicious activity report against you under money laundering law, I will also defend you vis-à-vis the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and the public prosecutor's office.
Our team will examine all options to ensure that those affected come out of this situation in the best possible way.

What would you do if your account was blocked, sit at home and twiddle your thumbs? you HAVE to do something...^^
Wait for a realistic period of time, if you can already think of the reason. Even if this is understandably very annoying.
The bank won't block your account because of a prank or because they've rolled the dice on which account to block. There is a reason.
You asked the bank to tell you the reason. On the phone and in the branch. So they know that there is a case.
They also know that they have to answer you. But they will answer you as soon as they want to.
Sabre-rattling with irrelevant deadlines after 4 working days by e-mail is useless.
You can write them, but you can also leave them alone. They are useless.
If the bank hasn't replied to you yet, they won't do so because of an e-mail with a 3-day deadline.
If there is no reply from the bank after a "reasonable time", the lawyer should contact you directly.
Then the BaFin will slowly start to complain about the legality.
There is no clear value for "reasonable time", but certainly not after 4 working days.
1-2 weeks is realistic here.
You are welcome to try as you wish, my post was just my opinion based on my knowledge.
Addendum:
If it ultimately depends on whether employee X at the bank wants to give you the answer or not, it's more effective if you are friendly, i.e. if you rattle off legally irrelevant and vulnerable sabres.

Several people have confirmed that you don't need an elite lawyer and that you should expect to pay a few hundred euros in total, but if you trust ChatGTP, then all the better xD
Chriiiis wrote on 21.08.2024 at 19:38: I'm just insecure to the max
It's really noticeable, to put it nicely xD Believe me, if someone writes to me that they don't have a few hundred euros left to pay a lawyer, then it's an emergency and very urgent. I can understand that not everyone has €50,000 stashed away at home, but you should always have a nest egg. At least €2-3,000. Just as a Tip, I don't want to seem disrespectful.

That's yet another indication of suspected money laundering for the bank. If you usually have to turn over every euro...and then chase 8000 euros back and forth within 1 day, that stands out...
That's a 2nd account, they don't know that I'm an early retiree.
But yes, if they see that there is no income and then suddenly 2000 comes in and then 3,000 and then you transfer 5000... well, I'm not surprised. I didn't think about it...... f**king gambling

Well, I don't have any urgency now.... I don't need it, but I still want it because it's my money.
I'm a bit afraid of waking sleeping dogs and possibly paying hundreds of euros to the lawyer for no reason.

You wrote that you're currently short of money and can't even afford €200 for the lawyer... if that's not urgent, then I don't know.

A house bank has knowledge of all the accounts you have. They don't see what happens on the accounts, but they know that you have them.
In Germany, we are transparent. Obtaining information about you is no obstacle for the authorities.
Have you had such EUR 8000 transactions on this second account every month so far?
