Stock Photo - 07 February 2023, Hamburg: Andrea Stöckmann (l) from the Senate Chancellery stamps the application of Sabine Mertens (r), Verein Deutsche Sprache as well as founder of the initiative, for the popular initiative ""Schluss mit Gendersprache in Verwaltung und Bildung"" in the Rathausdiele. The Hamburg people's initiative ""end with gender language in administration and education"" officially registered its signature collection on Tuesday. According to the will of the initiators, administration, educational institutions and municipal companies should be obliged to adhere to the rules of the Council for German Orthography and to dispense with gender asterisks and colons. State Election Commissioner Rudolf had declared the bill legally unobjectionable and formally correct last week. Photo: Marcus Brandt/dpa. - Hamburg/Hamburg/Germany
