The Federal Administrative Court allowed the applicant’s complaint, finding that the case had fundamental legal significance under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, and ordered the matter to proceed to revision; the applicant prevailed in the admissibility stage. The dispute concerned the scope of a university professor’s teaching obligations, specifically challenging whether the credit value of voluntary teaching events offered by the professor is counted toward the mandatory teaching load and whether an over-provision of teaching must result in a corresponding reduction of the statutory teaching duty. The decisive legal basis centers on the freedom of science, research, and teaching guaranteed by Art. 5 Abs. 3 Satz 1 of the German Basic Law, which frames the conditions under which voluntary teaching contributions interact with mandatory professional obligations.

Umfang der Lehrverpflichtung eines Hochschullehrers

[GRUENDE]

Die Beschwerde des Antragstellers gegen die Nichtzulassung der Revision ist begründet. Die Rechtssache hat die geltend gemachte grundsätzliche Bedeutung (§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO). Sie kann zur Klärung der Fragen beitragen, unter welchen Voraussetzungen vor dem Hintergrund der durch Art. 5 Abs. 3 Satz 1 GG verbürgten Freiheit von Wissenschaft, Forschung und Lehre von einem Hochschullehrer angebotene Lehrveranstaltungen auf dessen Lehrverpflichtung anzurechnen sind und ein Überangebot in der Lehre eine Verminderung der Lehrverpflichtung zur Folge haben muss.

Die Streitwertfestsetzung für das Beschwerdeverfahren folgt aus § 47 Abs. 1 und 3, § 52 Abs. 2 GKG; die vorläufige Streitwertfestsetzung für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 47 Abs. 1, § 52 Abs. 2, § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GKG.
