The court ruling came after a Belgian employee was told she could not wear an Islamic headscarf.

    illegal by the Grundgesetz

    Hm, what Article would that be?
    Unfortunately the separation of state and church is not very thorough in Germany.

    And then there is Article 4

    Article 4 [Freedom of faith and conscience]
    (1) Freedom of faith and of conscience and freedom to profess a religious or philosophical creed shall be inviolable.
    (2) The undisturbed practice of religion shall be guaranteed.

      Article 4 does indeed ban it.

      https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruzifix-Beschluss https://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/kruzifix-urteil-bayern-jubilaeum-1.4906155

      Bavaria is indeed violating the constitution here. There’s merely not much done to enforce it here.
