Götz Kubitschek's daughter criticizes authorities after being barred from teacher training in Saxony
Alruna H., daughter of neurechte publicist Götz Kubitschek, has been barred from beginning a teaching traineeship (Referendariat) in Saxony due to doubts about her loyalty to the constitution (Verfassungstreue). The decision, confirmed by the Dresden Administrative Court and the Saxony Higher Administrative Court in an expedited procedure, is final. Authorities cited her participation in events of the Institute for State Policy (IfS), classified as 'proven right-wing extremist' by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, and past activities linked to the 'Identitarian Movement'. Her husband is reportedly a member of that group. In an interview with the Berliner Zeitung, H. rejected the accusations, stating she is not a political activist and never tried to influence students politically. She attributed her presence at IfS events in Schnellroda to family reasons, as her parents live there. H. called the proceedings 'political' and accused the authorities of using her case to send a signal of intimidation. She also criticized the Verfassungsschutz for relying on Antifa blogs and photographs, calling the institution 'politically directed'. A state law professor quoted in the article described the case as resembling 'Sippenhaft' (collective punishment), which he said the rule of law does not recognize.

Alruna H., the daughter of prominent German new-right publicist Götz Kubitschek, has been barred from starting a teacher traineeship (Referendariat) in Saxony due to doubts about her loyalty to the constitution. The decision, upheld by the Administrative Court of Dresden and the Saxon Higher Administrative Court, is based on her participation in events organized by the Institute for State Policy (IfS), which is classified as 'proven right-wing extremist' by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, and her ties to the 'Identitarian Movement'. Alruna H., who completed her teaching degree with top marks, denies being a political activist or attempting to influence students politically. She attributes her presence at IfS events to family reasons, as her parents live in Schnellroda where the events are held. She criticizes the proceedings as a 'political procedure' and accuses the authorities and the Office for the Protection of the Constitution of bias, claiming the decision relies on Antifa blogs and unauthorized photographs. Constitutional law professor Volker Böhme-Neßler commented that the case 'sounds like collective punishment, which the rule of law does not recognize.'

The Higher Administrative Court of Saxony (Oberverwaltungsgericht) has ruled that Alruna H., daughter of prominent right-wing extremist publisher Götz Kubitschek, cannot enter the teaching profession. The court found that she lacks the minimum required loyalty to the constitution (Verfassungstreue). The decision, which cannot be appealed, blocks her from completing her teacher training (Referendariat) and from working as a civil servant or employee in the school system. The court's ruling was based on evidence from the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungsschutz), which documented her participation in events of the Institute for State Policy (IfS), a think tank classified as 'definitely right-wing extremist' and co-founded by her father, from 2022 to 2025. The article, authored by Andreas Speit and Andrea Röpke, details Alruna H.'s long-standing involvement in the Identitarian Movement and other far-right groups, including the völkisch youth organization 'Freibund'. The report attributes the court's reasoning to a failure to demonstrate the required constitutional loyalty, a standard for all teachers in Germany.
