In this paper we investigate a priori error estimates for the space-time Galerkin finite element discretization of a quasilinear gradient enhanced damage model. The model equations are of a special structure as the state equation consists of two quasilinear elliptic PDEs which have to be fulfilled at almost all times coupled with a nonsmooth, semilinear ODE that has to hold true in almost all points in space. The system is discretized by a constant discontinuous Galerkin method in time and usual conforming linear finite elements in space. Numerical experiments are added to illustrate the proven rates of convergence.
