Which questions is the employer not allowed to ask in a job interview?

AGG §1 protects against discrimination on grounds of race, gender, religion, disability, age and sexual identity. Specifically inadmissible questions: Pregnancy and family planning (exception: if the position is incompatible with the characteristic), religion and ideology, trade union membership, criminal record (except for relevant convictions), HIV status and disability (if not relevant to the position). Anti-discrimination agency: You have the right to answer these questions falsely — there are no legal consequences for you. Caveat: In practice, many employers ask these questions unknowingly. Tactic: Not confrontational, but diplomatically redirect ('My plans are focused on filling this position long-term').
