2. I was already googling and found what I needed

but thank you.... bummer

My mother and/or father was/were born in Germany. Does this mean I can become a German citizen?

The fact that your father and/or your mother was/were born in Germany is unfortunately not enough to attain German citizenship. Rather, your father and/or mother have to have been German citizens at the time of your birth.

If you were born before 1 January 1975 and your parents were married, you only attained German citizenship if your father was German at the time of your birth or if your parents submitted a declaration by 31 December 1977 stating they wanted German citizenship for their child.



I was hoping this had changed recently, but I see it hasn't.

4. A very useful site here at DU, where at least 25% of posts

that ask a question could easily be answered with a quick Google search. Sometimes, I just can't resist the temptation.

5. I suppose I could apply for it since I was born in Heidelberg

however I was born to U.S. parents on a U.S. base so I don't know.

14. she is one of the most attractive women I have ever looked upon

my older brother actually danced with her at a show in Boston. I believe it was at a night club known as the Channel. She is a tiny thing...
