admission to every denominational school of their religion. Rather, the decisive factor here is which primary school is closest to the child\u2019s place of residence. This was ruled by the Higher Administrative Court (OVG) in M\u00fcnster in a decision dated 26 August 2026 (Ref.: 19 B 830\/26). In doing so, the OVG revised its previous legal interpretation whilst at the same time upholding the earlier ruling of the Cologne Administrative Court. In the court\u2019s view, neither the North Rhine-Westphalian Schools Act nor the state constitution provides for an exception to the principle of proximity to the place of residence for children attending denominational schools.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In the present case, a Catholic primary school had refused admission to a child of no religious affiliation, on the grounds that all places had already been filled. However, the headteacher had admitted six children from religious backgrounds for whom this school was not \u2013 as it was for the child who was refused admission \u2013 the nearest school.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The Higher Administrative Court has now ruled that the admissions procedure was flawed. The appeal lodged by the parents of the child who had been refused a place was therefore successful. In principle, children who belong to a particular denomination are entitled to attend a denominational primary school of their religion, provided there are still places available there. However, this entitlement applies only to the nearest primary school of the desired type. Membership of a denomination alone is therefore not sufficient to secure a place at a denominational school further afield.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1850db83 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1850db83\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a29d4a9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4a29d4a9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-757e339f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"757e339f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>DOMBERT<\/b> Rechtsanw\u00e4lte <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1eb247ca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1eb247ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15b6b462 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"15b6b462\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3efdf34f elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget-tablet_extra__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile_extra__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3efdf34f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our work covers all legal issues and conflicts in which the state, municipalities or authorities are involved.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-212515db e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"212515db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32b99c88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"32b99c88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/dombert.de\/en\/law-firm\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More about our firm<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-543e3179 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"543e3179\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/dombert.de\/en\/#kompetenzen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More about our expertise<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| Kinder einer bestimmten Konfession k\u00f6nnen nicht automatisch an jeder Bekenntnisschule ihrer Religion bevorzugt aufgenommen werden.
