Abstract

Over the last years, the situation of informatics in schools was significantly strengthened in Germany. Furthermore, the scientific discipline of informatics and its influence on our daily lives are constantly evolving. In light of this, in 2025 the German Informatics Society published new standards for lower secondary education in informatics in Germany, replacing the first version published in 2008. In this country report, we describe the development process and the resulting revision of the standards. In particular, we present overarching themes and illustrate changes to the preceding document. This way, we demonstrate how the developments and trends in informatics (education) were addressed within the German context, contributing to the international discourse on the curricular evolution of informatics in schools.
