Yeah, there is such a thing in Germany, too, but I'm not sure if it's true for my kind of contract because it's this one-year trainee thing. Not sure if the same rules apply there. Will have to find out. But I would much prefer not to have to back out, anyway!
I don't think that starting to work there and backing out after a month would be a good option, though. The uni job would start on the first of April; the museum job on the first of March.
I also need to find out what the pay at the uni would be. It's only a part-time job (50 percent), so it would probably be quite low. Then again, museum trainees are usually only paid about as much as part-timers, so the pay could be similar in both jobs. And the uni job would be for three to six years instead of one to two, so *that's* quite attractive.
