Overview

  • The Higher Administrative Court for Berlin-Brandenburg upheld the dismissal of two Brandenburg police trainees and declared the decisions final.
  • Judges found trainers and colleagues credible when they reported the men made statements hostile to the democratic order.
  • Under German rules for probationary civil servants (Beamtenverhältnis auf Widerruf), trainees can be removed at any time if they are judged unsuitable.
  • The court said officers must show commitment to the democratic order because public trust depends on that promise.
  • The decisions, recorded as cases 4 S 7/26 and 4 S 8/26, set a clear marker for future personnel cases in the region.
