If you want German citizenship, you must meet several basic requirements. This also applies to people who were born in Germany. Matthias Regenbrecht, who is responsible for naturalizations at the Tübingen district office, explained that people in Germany acquire their citizenship through descent. Descent means that their ancestors must already have German citizenship. Germans must prove their lineage back to 1938. They use birth certificates or other certificates to show where and when they, their father and possibly their grandfather were born. Since January 1st, 1975, they may also refer to their mother’s lineage. Then the mother, her father and possibly also her grandfather must have been German.
