Summary/Abstract: In today's society, we are witnessing an ever-increasing diversity, which is becoming more and more present through different channels and especially in the media. Language teaching is usually also teaching in perspective and behaviour and should consequently also reflect the current debates in society. Therefore, the question arises as to whether social discourses on the topic of diversity are finding their way into textbooks for German as a foreign and second language in a frequent and differentiated way. The article examines various aspects of diversity in six current textbooks and finally formulates proposals for an open approach to the topic.
