#1 There's no way this ruling is going to be the last word in the German courts.

#2 Ah, Freistaat Bayern. The Texas of Germany. Beer, pork, dogs, guns, churches, and a funny accent, plus the home of BMW and a southern border much, much nicer than ours. Good on ya, Bavaria!

#5 The Islamic association's argument is a phony one: nuns wear "head-covering habits" as part of the religious uniform of their profession; the German state school doesn't have a religious uniform, that I am aware of. More broadly, it is a false analogy as the entire female Muslim population is expected to wear the "uniform"; the argument would only have weight if every western woman were expected to wear the nuns' habit. Ain't gonna happen.
