Overview

  • The administration’s written reply states the attorney’s December letter was forwarded from Senator Günther-Wünsch’s office through two departmental levels to regional school supervision and was read by each leadership level.
  • The registered mail copy was never logged in the central mailroom and the email was directed to a general office inbox instead of the senator’s personal mailbox.
  • No intervention followed the detailed accusations of months-long homophobic bullying and false allegations by a colleague despite the letter’s clear documentation.
  • Green MP Louis Krüger condemned the opaque processing, saying it confirms that all administrative tiers chose not to address the teacher’s serious claims.
  • The teacher remains on sick leave with PTSD as unions and lawmakers renew demands for an independent complaints mechanism and mandatory anti-discrimination training.
