The German state of Hesse has become the first in the country to impose a ban on the full Islamic face veil for public sector workers.
The western state had already stopped teachers and civil servants wearing headscarves to work in 2004.
The case was brought after a woman working for the city of Frankfurt said she did not intend to reveal her face on her return from maternity leave.
A similar ban is being considered in Lower Saxony, local media report.
