Already quite cute: a student is granted the right to the old spelling in court, but:

An interim order to the Lower Saxony Minister of Education to maintain the old spelling, however, the Lüneburg judges did not want to issue. The student would have to wait for a judgment, but this is not to be expected before the end of the applicant's school time.

Somehow, one can only explain such things with a very twisted sense of humor. It almost has a Kohlhaas-like quality to it.
