Alruna H., the daughter of prominent German right-wing extremist and publisher Götz Kubitschek, has been permanently barred from starting her teacher traineeship (Referendariat) in Saxony, Germany. The decision was upheld by the Oberverwaltungsgericht (Higher Administrative Court) after the Landesamt (state office) withdrew her initial approval. The court rejected her argument that her attendance at events organized by her father's 'Institut für Staatspolitik' and the 'Identitäre Bewegung' (Identitarian Movement) was purely familial. The German domestic intelligence service (Verfassungsschutz) confirmed her participation in these events, which are classified as unconstitutional. Saxony's Culture Minister Conrad Clemens (CDU) was quoted by Bild newspaper stating, 'There is no place for extremists in Saxony's schools.' The ruling is final and ends her aspirations to become a teacher.

A young woman in Saxony has been permanently barred from entering the teaching profession after attending events organized by her father, the prominent right-wing extremist Götz Kubitschek.
Case Details
Alruna H. had planned to begin her teacher training (Referendariat) at the Gymnasium Dresden-Cotta in Saxony. However, after it became known that she is the daughter of Götz Kubitschek and had allegedly attended events of the "Identitarian Movement," the state authority revoked her admission, according to a report by Tag24.
Following a rejected emergency appeal, Alruna H. filed a complaint with the Higher Administrative Court (Oberverwaltungsgericht). The court has now dismissed the complaint in the final instance.
Court Findings
According to Tag24, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungsschutz) confirmed Alruna H.'s participation in right-wing extremist events organized by her father's "Institute for State Policy" (Institut für Staatspolitik), whose goals are classified as unconstitutional. Her husband is also reportedly a member of the Identitarian Movement.
The court rejected the argument that her attendance was purely family-related.
Official Response
The decision effectively ends the young woman's dream of completing her teacher training and pursuing a career as an educator.
"There is no place for extremists in Saxony's schools," Saxony's Minister of Education Conrad Clemens (CDU) was quoted as saying by Bild newspaper.
