Basically title, because I saw an article from BBC that a few people tried to seize power in Germany. Do they get the power just by occupying the building? Do other states recognise this? What happens to the constitution and the law? Is is a lawless state while they create a new constitution?

There is nice summary video that explains this.

In general you start with infiltrating the current government system. You get your people in key positions.
Once that part is done you move to the public part. You quickly arrest the current government and replace them.
You already have some support in the military, police,justice,…
This will give you legitimacy. You must take control of the media and convince people that there is no point in trying to rebel, because you have already won.
If you succeed in getting domestic legitimacy than foreign one will follow.
What happens to constitution and laws depends. It can be from very little to getting tossed out completely.
The entire point of a coup is to avoid lawless state completely. This is not a popular revolt. Minority is trying to usurp power and their only chance is if the majority accepts it without resistance.
