Twig rendering Controller in div of another Controller

Question

I have a problem with the following use case: I render a controller in a twig template where I have a navigation div with two links in it. In the middle of my page I have a div in which I would like to render the result of another controller. The decision which controllers twig should render is up to the click on the menu links. I hope the following code makes clear, what I mean:

{% extends 'base.html.twig' %}
{% block scripts %}
    {{ parent() }}
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        $( "#menu" ).menu();
      });
    </script>
    <style>
        .ui-menu {margin-bottom: 10px !important;}
    </style>
{% endblock %}
{% block stylesheets %}
    {{ parent() }}
    <link href="{{ asset('css/sstm_style.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" />
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
{{ parent() }}
<div id="module_title"><h1>Lizenznehmer-Stammdaten</h1></div>
<nav>
    <h5>Was möchten Sie tun?</h5>
    <ul id="menu">
        <li><a href="#">Lizenznehmer anlegen</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Lizenznehmer bearbeiten</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>
<div id="main">
{# fill div with either CreateLicenseController or ChangeLicenseController #}
</div>
{% endblock %}

I know of the embed tag which renders a controller in a block of another controllers twig but I don't know how to tell twig at runtime which controller should be rendered

You mean to generate controller by ajax request? Or you know which controller you need when rendering? If the last one, you can use if:

{% if needCreate %}
{{ render(controller('YourBundle:YourController:CreateLicenseController') }}
{% else %}
{{ render(controller('YourBundle:YourController:ChangeController') }}
{% endif %}

If you want load it by ajax, you shall make it in javascript, not in twig.
