If the working conditions are more intimate because the employing company is small the basic rules of the Civil Code will apply.

How much notice does an employer have to give?
It depends on how long the employee has worked for him or her:
| 2 years: | one month to the last day of a month, |
| 5 years: | two months to the last day of a month, |
| 8 years: | four months to the last day of a month, |
| 12 years: | five months to the last day of a month, |
| 15 years: | six months to the last day of a month, |
| 20 years: | seven months to the last day of a month |
I am sick and tired of working for this guy who hired me. I want to quit. How long is the period of notification?
You have to give the employer 4 weeks to end on the 15th or to the end of the month (§622 I BGB). Be aware that oral notification is not valid, so you must give notice in writing (§623 BGB). If you fail to give notice in writing, you are required to keep working and your boss will not have to pay you for the time you stayed home!
