Answer 1

No, as far as I know, burqas are not forbidden in Germany, even though I've never seen any here in Germany.

Anyways there is a German law that prohibits wearing masks or other objects to cover the face in a STRIKE or DEMONSTRATION. This law has the purpose to enable the identification of rowdys and other participants of that event.

Answer 2

It´s not forbidden, some muslems wear it. What you really mean is the prohibition to wear masks in a demonstration. You have the right to demonstrate but you have to show who you are.

Answer 3

No, it's not illegal to wear one when going about your business, but during demonstrations, it is.  I've seen women in Arabic veils (niqab) in Germany before.

Answer 4

It is not forbidden to wear it in public, even though right now there is a debate going on about whether or not people in jobs such as teachers are allowed to wear it.

It is a sign of religious affiliation, which is not to be displayed.

But the discussion is still going on, we don't have any laws about it yet, every case is different.

Answer 5

The law is called "Vermummungsverbot" and prohibits

wearing a mask (or something else that covers your

face) during a public demonstration. Otherwise you're

free to wear whatever you want.

Answer 6

it is not true .
