No, it's Ryanair. They always look for direct routings, even if it
takes them outside controlled airspace. As for believing ATCOs,
well, they will always say there isn't enough controlled airspace; if
class D has been established around Hahn, it will be large enough
for vectoring onto the ILS. Contrary to popular myth, gliders show
as a primary return on radar displays; whether controllers choose
to avoid them or notice them is another matter.

Well... in the German glider forum, a controller says otherwise.
Personally, I can't judge it, but I tend to believe the controller.

Last July I was on board of a Ryan Air 737 (1.98 Euros from
Zweibruecken to Londion Stansted - and back !!!) that was
flying a
straight-in approach to Zweibruecken... after a 50 nm (for
insiders:
we entered E airspace north of Trier....!!!) final in E airspace at
6.000 ft, right below the cloud streets.

As it was class E, they were cleared for that route by the
controller.
So blame the controller and not Ryanair.
