Germany as an Immigration Country

Katica IVANDA ; Ivo Pilar-Institut für Gesellschaftswissenschaften, Zagreb

Sažetak

In the paper the author synthesises, within the context of
social history, migration experiences that took part in
Germany. From a 19th century emigration country it has
become a new type of immigration country. The period of
accepting foreign workers in the 1960s proved
retrospectively that Germany had become an immigrant
country against its own will. Namely, although all the
participants – on the part of Germany and on the part of the
immigrants as well – had long nourished the 'Gastarbeiter'
myth of a rapid return to their country of origin, because of their extended stay, chain immigration and immigration of
family members, the first contours of an immigration society
began to emerge. In addition to migrant workers, the paper
also focuses on the presentation of various immigrant groups
(immigration of family members of migrant workers,
immigration of German families from other countries,
immigration of Jews, immigration of political refugees from
former socialist countries and potential asylum seekers as
well as other refugees) and on facts and the legal framework
of certain immigration models.
