"The punishment is imprisonment for six and a half years," the judge said during a court hearing on Friday.
The court found that the convict had planned to assemble a car bomb to carry out an act of terrorism in Germany, which could have led to over 200 deaths and injuries. The verdict has not entered into force and can be appealed.
German police detained the Syrian citizen on October 31, 2017 in the city of Schwerin; at the time, he was 19.
According to police, the man arrived in Germany in 2015 as a refugee.
