The Federal Administrative Court granted leave to appeal and admitted the complaint regarding the secondary claim for recognition of eligibility for the higher service career (Laufbahn des höheren Dienstes), establishing that the issue requires further legal clarification, while rejecting the main claim and primary alternative claim for lack of demonstrated grounds for admission, which leaves the lower court's decisions on those specific claims in force. The dispute centered on a public servant's challenge against the responsible authority's refusal to formally recognize his eligibility for the higher service career, despite his successful completion of a specialized professional degree program at a University of Applied Sciences and his subsequent civil service leave to perform duties equivalent to a higher service position as a contract employee. The decisive legal basis concerns the authority's power to deny recognition of higher service career eligibility notwithstanding the successful completion of an accredited degree program and the performance of equivalent duties, with the court determining that the accreditation of the specific study program and the university's internal classification of the degree are not determinative factors for this legal assessment.

Zuerkennung der Befähigung zur Laufbahn des höheren Dienstes

[GRUENDE]

Die Beschwerde ist hinsichtlich des zweiten Hilfsantrags - Zuerkennung der Befähigung zur Laufbahn des höheren Dienstes - zuzulassen. Es ist insoweit rechtsgrundsätzlich zu klären, ob der Vorstand der Deutschen Telekom AG einem Beamten die Anerkennung der Befähigung für die Laufbahn des höheren Dienstes versagen kann, obwohl er ihn nach erfolgreicher Absolvierung eines Studiengangs an einer Fachhochschule mit dem Hochschulgrad Diplom-Wirtschaftsjurist (FH) beurlaubt, um ihm im Angestelltenverhältnis eine Tätigkeit als Jurist zu übertragen, die einem Amt der Laufbahn des höheren Dienstes entspricht. Auf die Akkreditierung des Studiengangs und auf die fachliche Einordnung des Hochschulabschlusses durch die Hochschule kommt es nicht an.

Soweit die Beschwerde hinsichtlich des Hauptantrags und des ersten Hilfsantrags zurückgewiesen wird, hat der Kläger Zulassungsgründe im Sinne des § 132 Abs. 2 VwGO nicht dargelegt (§ 133 Abs. 3 Satz 3 VwGO). Die angestrebte Beförderung kommt ohne Anerkennung der Laufbahnbefähigung nicht in Betracht. Von einer weiteren Begründung wird insoweit gemäß § 133 Abs. 5 Satz 2 Alt. 2 VwGO abgesehen.
