This study examines the place of religious pluralism in the life world of adolescents in rural areas in Austria (Tyrol, Voralberg, Upper and Lower Austria). 15 group discussions (2021-22) with Alevi, Sunni, Catholic, Protestant and secular youth groups demonstrate that the school appears as the central place of contact with religious pluralism and participation at religion classes marks religious differences. These contacts are described as marginal and knowledge-based.
