The Berlin Administrative Court ruled that a Berlin Gymnasium can continue to prohibit visible prayer among students, citing the interest of school peace. The Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte argued the ban discriminates against Muslim students who must perform obligatory prayers. However, the court found that maintaining order outweighs individual religious freedom. The school reported recurrent religious conflicts disrupting the school environment. This case follows a 2011 ruling where a 18-year-old Muslim student failed to gain permission to pray outside class time, with the court then deeming the restriction of his religious freedom justified.
