In the last few decades, German society has become pluralistic and multireligious. Since the early 1980s, the political actors have been facing claims from Islamic groups or individuals seeking legitimacy or public recognition. One of the most important debates was about teachers wearing an Islamic headscarf at school. In September 2003 the Constitutional court ruled that German federal states are free to ban or approve Muslim headscarves or other religious symbols in state schools. The aim of this paper is to give a clearer insight into the impact of Muslim teachers’ demands on the relationships between politics and religion in Germany and to study the present influence of Christian Churches on the relationship between the State and Muslim communities.
