The article examines the complex syntactic structures underlying the construction of modern German legislative texts. The rich practical material borrowed from the official website of the legislation of the European Union and other public documents of the EU made it possible to identify complex sentences, carry out their modeling, analyze syntactic blocks of sentences with several subordinate clauses, establish parenthetical constructions and syntactic parallel structures, determine their functions in the legal text. The study found that the composition of German-language legislative documents mainly involves determinative subordinate clauses, which can be combined with other types of subordinate clauses. The conducted research allows us to conclude that the structures of complex syntax, for example, complex sentences, are units of mental language processing, which represent a sequence of meaningful components that are relatively dependent on each other, marked with intonation and typical writing signals, having a certain communicative value, which is reflected in syntactic, semantic, and textual-functional levels.
