Reading the linked spec, it seems section 5.1.4: Domainparameter und 
Schlüssellängen is the part relevant to algorithms for certificates.

It says that ECDSA, DSA, and RSASSA-PSS are acceptable signature algorithms and 
the acceptable curves for use with ECDSA are:

- BrainpoolP224r14 , BrainpoolP256r1, BrainpoolP384r1, BrainpoolP512r1 (vgl. 
[26]); 

- NIST Curve P-224, NIST Curve P-256, NIST Curve P-384, NIST Curve P-521.

It says that the Brainpool curves are _recommended_ but does not make them 
required.

There is overlap between BSI TR-03116, the BRs, and what browsers support, so 
it does not appear any changes to the BRs are required to allow compliance with 
BSI TR-03116.

Thanks,
Peer
