A method and corresponding device for the decentralized cooperative coordination of at least two vehicles includes: determining an abstract driving maneuver to realize at least one nominal driving maneuver by a first vehicle, determining driving maneuver information regarding the first vehicle's at least one abstract driving maneuver, transmitting the first vehicle's driving maneuver information to at least one further vehicle, calculating or reconstructing the first vehicle's nominal trajectory and/or nominal driving maneuver based on the received driving maneuver information by the further vehicle, comparing the first vehicle's reconstructed nominal trajectory and/or the reconstructed nominal driving maneuver with the further vehicle's nominal trajectory and/or nominal driving maneuver and, if a conflict exists between the nominal trajectory and/or the nominal driving maneuver of the first vehicle and the nominal trajectory and/or the nominal driving maneuver of the further vehicle, transmitting a cooperation request and/or information indicating the conflict to the first vehicle.
