I might also be able to be a citizen of Germany?

[ScorpioRising007]

By accident I discovered that I might be able to be a citizen of Germany besides US by birthright?

My Great grandmother was born in Germany and moved to the states shortly before giving birth to my grandma in 1918. My family thinks she might of never given up her German citizenship and became a US citizen....but we don't know for sure?

Anyone know anything more about being able gain German citizenship by birthright?

I've heard it is pretty easy to do if you are of Italian ancestry, I just met two people who have Italian citizenship. I don't know about Germany.

I wonder about Austrian citizenship. My grandparents came from southern Poland which was part of Austria at the time they came to America.

"My Great grandmother was born in Germany" is no criterion any longer. As far as I now this could be hundreds of millions of people and Germany is meanwhile a very little country.

But if you like to be a German like all others then learn just simple one of the dialects of our language and no one here will be able to find out that you are no German - even if you would be a cactus.



I see your loneliness
I know your journey is still very long
I sense that you are sad
It is important that you never forget

Life is not always fries and disco
I am telling you
Sometimes life is just
A bottle of beer

You think there is no way forward
Because there's no one who understands you
Come, just stay here at the bar
You'll feel much better soon

Life isn't always just fries and disco
I'm telling you
Sometimes life is just
A bottle of beer

A bottle of beer
And you forget your worries
A bottle of beer
And you don't think about tomorrow

A bottle of beer
It penetrates deep into your heart
Another bottle of beer
And you forget your pain

Come stay here a little longer
And then we'll drink another bottle

And don't forget the shots
Just because they're smaller
Doesn't mean you should miss them
Every child knows that

Life isn't always fries and disco
I'm telling you
Sometimes life is just
A bottle of beer

I wonder about Austrian citizenship. My grandparents came from southern Poland which was part of Austria at the time they came to America.

Austria (more exact Austria-Hungaria (k&k empire)) had been a multi national country before World War 1. All inhabitants of this empire had the same rights - including the right to use their own language in front of ever athority of the empire. Indeed is Austria on its own a very old part and centre of Germany.

What you call "Southern Poland" had been Germany when the Austrians ruled there. After World War 2 the allies of world war 2 took territory from Poland and gave it to Russia and took territory from Germany and gave it to Poland. I guess your ancestors had been Silesians. The Silesian Germans had been wiped out from the allies of World War 2 by murder and displacement.

So before this had happend and this 50% of your grandparents spoke German then they had been free Germans - otherwise they had been free Poles who not had been supressed in Austria. In the parts of Poland under control of Prussia the Poles suffererd racism (everyone - also other Germans - suffered under the Prussian 'elites') and for the situation of the Poles who had to live in Russia was even more worse. A German poet created in his "Polish songs" in the 19th century the new word "Völkermord" (=genocide) for the situation of the Poles under the Russians.

So it looks like - independent whether your grandparents had been Poles or Germans - they travelled to the USA not on reason they had to flee but on reason to find a new free and better home there. If they came a short time after 1849 to the USA then they lost perhaps the hope that in Germany and/or Austria the rulership of the nobles ever will end. By the way: Also some privileged nobles preferred equality, freedom and democracy. I think today nearly all nobels are for democracy. Elitarian societies are always a more big problem.

Not to forget. Austria-Hungary was also called "The Danube monachy". The river Danube is worldwide still today the river where live the most many different countries, cultures and people. I call it "the most charming empire ever had existed".

Interesting. So depending where my great grandmother was born in Germany that could now be considered Poland. ... I will have to look into that.

If granted citizenship in Germany, you can become a true Muslim when the Islamists get control of that nation. Don't take any women you care for, as women have no real rights in Islam.

Do you need an exchange brain for 1 cent? Should I get a few cost estimates for this incredible improvement in your thinking abilities, US-Russian or US-Nazi or just simple absurd anti-European superidiot or Trumpican?

 

[LuckyDuck01!]

So sad that you live in denial of what is happening to Europe at this time and it's also sad to see that you are so infantile that you resort to insulting people.
Grow up then actually study about what is happening all over Europe, with the exception of Poland and Hungary.

 

[zaangalewa]

I live in Europe - you live on a not existing edge of the universe, enemy of the Western World.

at this time and it's also sad to see that you are so infantile that you resort to insulting people.

I call assholes assholes. But I never would insult a real asshole because I'm one on my own - what you will feel when I will decide not to transport shit like yours to the place where it should be: Outside in the light of philosophical understanding for everyone and not inside of your sink tanks and rotten moral.

Grow up

I grew up since ~13.8 billion years, because I am the universe, Blödmann. That's quite a large redshift where you're hanging out.

then actually study about what is happening all over Europe,

I do not have to study Europe - I live Europe, absurd abstrahot.

with the exception of Poland and Hungary.

Good grief - you are a Russian. Speaks every second US-American 24/7 full time superidiot Russian?

Oh, by the way: Do you have a fly swatter? A slightly larger one, perhaps? About the size of your lightweight?



They say that winter is cold
and that everyone grows old.
We want to stay with Mother Earth, even when it's cold.
Twelve stars shine on your face.
Its value is really small to us.
We build our own houses, and every one of them collapses at some point.

We ride or run, our fields are not small,
and we know for ourselves what bright sunshine is like,
and we live on, on, on.
We have our own songs, our own engravings,
whistling cheerfully to your honor, loyalty, duty, and oath,
only the moon is our only faithful guide.
May our hearts always be cheerful.

Spring is blooming, come out, people.
A little party in high spirits.
We do as we please and never die out.
Damn it! You bourgeois are so good,
leave us in peace, take your hats off!
We are neither left nor right, neither liberal, we have courage.

We ride or run, our fields are not small,
and we know for ourselves what it's like, the bright sunshine,
and we live on ourselves, on, on, on.
We have our own songs, our own engraving,
whistling cheerfully at your honor, loyalty, duty, and oath,
only the moon is our only faithful guide.
May our hearts always be cheerful.

Gather together, people, in crowds,
every country will rise up one day.
Rightfully, what is right,
one hundred and eighty-five men rise up.
We are, as a small people, united,
in love, hate, lust, and strife.
We do not want the old order. Long live the new era!

We ride or run, our fields are not small,
and we know for ourselves what it's like, the bright sunshine,
and we live on ourselves, on, on, on.
We have our own songs, our own engraving,
whistling cheerfully at your honor, loyalty, duty, and oath,
only the moon is our only faithful guide.
May our hearts always be cheerful.

Interesting. It appears besides my Great Grandmother, also my Great Grandfather also came from Germany. They most likely were escaping persecution I am guessing since they were Jewish Germans.

I tracked down exactly where in Germany they came from.

"Neuhaus am Rennweg is a town in the district of Sonneberg, in Thuringia, Germany."

My Grandmas brothers served in WW2 they were Jewish Germans who were US Soldiers.

While the German government is busy sanctioning Russia, Germany’s job market is in full-scale collapse.

The auto industry alone has annihilated 111,400 positions, with Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, and others leaving tens of thousands unemployed.
Thyssenkrupp slashes 11,000 jobs, nearly half its workforce.Deutsche Bahn wipes out 35,000 roles, Deutsche Post 8,000, Commerzbank 3,900, and SAP 3,500 in Germany.
Across steel, transport, tech, finance, and logistics, tens of thousands of workers are being crushed under ruthless corporate downsizing.

The country’s workforce is bleeding, and there’s no end in sight.
