If you want German citizenship, you must meet several basic requirements. One of them is that those who want to naturalize can make a living out of their own resources. Matthias Regenbrecht, who is also responsible for naturalizations at the district of Tübingen, specified that, for example, receiving social assistance can lead to the rejection of an application for naturalization. However, he sometimes has a degree of discretion. If, for example, he sees that a single woman with two children needs additional social assistance in addition to her own low earnings, then he would not penalize her: “This is not… Read More

Naturalization in Germany 9: Citizenship
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… Read More

Einbürgerung in Deutschland 11: Duldung gilt nicht als Aufenthaltszeit
Personen, die die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft möchten, müssen mehrere Grundvoraussetzungen erfüllen. Sie müssen sich dafür unter anderem 6, 7 oder 8 Jahre „rechtmäßig und ununterbrochen“ in Deutschland aufgehalten haben. Matthias Regenbrecht, der im Landratsamt Tübingen für Einbürgerungen zuständig ist, erklärt, dass eine „Duldung“ prinzipiell nicht zur Aufenthaltszeit zählt. Eine geduldete Person hätte Deutschland eigentlich verlassen müssen. Sie darf nur bleiben, weil ihr beispielsweise „Gefahr an Leib und Leben“ drohe, wenn sie abgeschoben wird. Deshalb steht in Duldungsdokumenten, dass die Betreffenden ausreisepflichtig sind. Das ist nach dem Einbürgerungsgesetz kein „rechtmäßiger“ Aufenthalt. Wer mindestens 18 Monate lang mit einer Duldung in Deutschland war,… Read More

التجنيس في ألمانيا 3: إثبات الهوية
إذا كنت تريد الجنسية الألمانية، عليك أن تلبي العديد من المتطلبات الأساسية. احد هذه المتطلبات، يجب على الاشخاص أن يثبتوا هويتهم بوثائق أصلية. ويعتبر ماتياس ريغينبريخت، المسؤول عن التجنيس في مكتب مقاطعة توبنغن، أن هذا الحكم، الذي بدا العمل به منذ عام تقريباً، “مصيبة كبيرة” حسب تعبيره. في الماضي، كان من الممكن قبول إثبات الهوية المطلوبة من خلال صورة مصدقة وهذا يعتبر أسهل نوعا ما من الوقت الحالي. لذلك الآن يجب على ريغينبريخت وزملاؤه المطالبة رسمياً بالوثائق الأصلية. ويشير مسؤول الجنسية إلى البلدان التي “لا يوجد فيها مكتب تسجيل ألماني”، أو “حيث لا تسجل أحياناً حتى الولادات أو الزيجات” أو… Read More

Online Deutsch lernen – ein Erfahrungsbericht
Von Youssef Kanjou Corona zwingt uns, Deutsch von zu Hause aus und über das Internet zu lernen. Mein B 2-Sprachkurs sollte im März an der Volkshochschule beginnen und wurde unmittelbar nach Kursbeginn durch die Corona-Maßnahmen unterbrochen, die zur Schließung aller Schulen in Deutschland führten. Die Schulleitung beschloss, den Kurs online fortzuführen. Derzeit haben wir täglich nachmittags zweieinhalb Stunden Unterricht per Videokonferenz mit dem Programm Zoom. Dies ist das erste Mal, dass ich eine Sprache online lerne, nachdem alles im Leben online geworden ist. Es scheint mir eine sehr wichtige Erfahrung zu sein. Der Lehrer erklärt mit einer Powerpoint-Präsentation und mit… Read More
