joint and several liability
Quelle: https://dejure.org/gesetze/BGB/421.html
Gesamtschuld is a liability where multiple obligors are jointly and severally liable to a creditor; each debtor can be pursued for the entire debt. Payments by one debtor do not usually discharge the others pro rata; the liability remains solidary, allowing the creditor to claim the full amount from any one debtor and then seek contribution from the others.
