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’s really no single answer to your question. Every coup is different and depends on the specific circumstances under which it takes place. At the end of the day, a coup is successful if the person or people doing it actually secure government power and having that power recognized by enough of the country for them to keep it (so no, simply occupying a building is at best, an attempted coup). How they might go about getting that power (and keeping it) is a case-by-case scenario.
