Iranians in Germany (German: Iraner in Deutschland) include immigrants from Iran to Germany as well as their descendants of Iranian heritage or background. Iranians in Germany are referred to by hyphenated terms such as Iranian-Germans or Persian-Germans.[2][3][4][5] Similar terms Iranisch Deutsch and Persisches Deutsch, may be found in Germanophone media.[6][7][8] In 2022, Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis) estimates that 304,000 people of Iranian background live in Germany.[9]
Iranians in Germany have taken a wide range of jobs, from fashion, arts and entertainment to engineering and medicine.[10][11]
Multiple Nationality
Nowadays, most Iranian-Germans have German and Iranian citizenship (multiple nationality).[12][13] Iran almost never frees its citizens from their Iranian citizenship (see Article 989 Iran. Civil Code [14]), which is inherited through the father (or descent). The still existing German-Iranian agreement of 1929 [15] regulates in no. II of the Final Protocol that government approval is required prior to the naturalization of nationals of the other State.
A large number of Iranian artists are working in Germany, some of whom are internationally known. Some of these artists have left Iran for political reasons and some have started their professional activity in Germany.
Many Iranian women have achieved international success as fashion models in Germany. Shermine Shahrivar is one of this German models who is a beauty pageant titleholder and won Miss Europe 2005. Germany has been an attractive destination for Iranian female models since 1979.[16][17]
