Abstract

The new situation in the school system presents new challenges for religious education. Teaching plans are liberalized, some schools receive more autonomy, and in Germany the duration of high school education has been diminished. Consequently, the "weaker subjects", such as music and sports education, and religion and ethics, are relegated to the background. However, the disappearance of many traditions in society and the complexity of today's world call for guidance and ask questions about the meaning of life. School religious education can and must help students in finding themselves and offer an interpretation of the world by setting a firm foundation for helping students to cope in life. Religious education must have a permanent place in all years of education and should not be neglected for practical reasons.

Keywords
