Foreigners In Germany





Living a multicultural society

German society is a society of immigrants. For economic, demographic and humanitarian reasons immigration has become an important issue for German society over the past 50 years: over 14 million people with a migration background are living in Germany today. They are immigrants themselves or second generation immigrants. One out of five marriages is a binational one and one out of four children born in Germany has at least one foreign parent. Every third teenager in West Germany has a migration background, while in some areas this rises to almost 40%, tendency increasing. Immigration has substantially changed the ways our society works – ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and religious diversity have become a living reality for a long time already.
