The Turkish mosque association Ditib has asserted itself in the legal dispute over cooperation in Islam lessons.
As the Hessian Administrative Court announced on Wednesday, it rejected an appeal by the state against a judgment by the Wiesbaden Administrative Court.
The court thus confirmed that the Ministry of Education should not have suspended cooperation with Ditib in denominational religious education.
In Hesse, Islamic religious education was first introduced in elementary schools in the 2013/14 school year and expanded in the years that followed.
Ditib acted as the most important partner.
However, due to the proximity of the mosque association to the Turkish state, the country ended the cooperation in 2020 and continued teaching without a partner.
Ditib took legal action against this.
The decision of the Administrative Court is not contestable.
