Iranians in Germany include immigrants from Iran to Germany as well as their descendants of Iranian heritage or background. There are 100,000 to 120,000[1] ethnic Iranians living in Germany. With around 25,000 people of Iranian descent, Hamburg is the main center of the Iranian diaspora.[2] Iranians in Germany are referred to by hyphenated terms such as German-Iranians, Iranian-German, German-Persian, or Persian-German.[3][4][5][6] Similar terms Iranisch Deutsch and Persisches Deutsch, may be found in German-language media.[7][8][9]

Multiple Nationality

As Iran almost never frees its citizens from their Iranian citizenship (see Article 989 Iran. Civil Code [10]), which is inherited through the father (or descent), there are many German-Iranian (multiple nationality). The still existing German-Iranian agreement of 1929 [11] regulates in no. II of the Final Protocol that government approval is required prior to the naturalization of nationals of the other State.
