The German diaspora (German: Deutschstämmige) consists of German people and their descendants who live outside of Germany. The term is used in particular to refer to the aspects of migration of German speakers from Central Europe to different countries around the world.
This article explores how communities in the so-called \"German diaspora\" have imagined and maintained a sense of Germanness in their various host countries. It examines the historical and social factors that shape the meaning and practice of Germanness in different contexts and challenges the notion of a single national identity.

Germany was long known as an “undeclared” (Thränhardt 1995) or “reluctant” (Martin 1994) country of immigration, with so-called guestworker (Gastarbeiter) migration from the 1950s and 1960s initially envisaged as temporary, and only belatedly understood – in 2000 – as a permanent immigration flow (e.g. Brodmerkel 2017; Schmidtke 2017). In addition ...
The Emigrant Protection Act (Auswandererschutzgesetz), passed into law in 1975, amended the previous Imperial Act on Emigration (Reichsgesetz über das Auswanderungswesen) of 1897, which protected emigrants from unscrupulous agents claiming to facilitate emigration. The 1897 Act also included limits on emigration, notably for those who had not yet c...
The BVA unit refers to German emigrants and those working abroad, but the unit responsible for overseeing elections (appointed by the Ministry of Interior) refers to German nationals abroad as Auslandsdeutsche, or Germans abroad, a phrase that has been used in the past to refer to German ethno-national minorities (who are generally not German citiz...
While there is thus no targeted assistance or support intended specifically for German nationals living abroad (any assistance is on the basis of exception, not the rule), the German Government does, on the other hand, provide centralized funding and support to German minorities living in Central and Eastern Europe and southern Denmark (but not els...
All individuals living in Germany – both German and foreign nationals – are required, within one or 2 weeks (variation across federal states) of moving in to a residence, to register with the local authorities, a common procedure across Europe. Local registration in Germany is a prerequisite for access to services such as the monthly child allowanc...

The four major political parties (Christian Democrats (CDU), Social Democrats (SPD), Free Democrats (FDP) and Alliance 90/Greens) have a limited number of branches located abroad, established by individual German citizens living abroad.

In principle, Germans living abroad are not taxed on their income earned abroad. Double taxation agreements have been concluded between Germany and 94 countries, including the five hosting the largest populations of German citizens, to avoid double taxation on any other income. The German Finance Ministry provides links to the text of the agreement...
There does not appear to be any concerted coordination between German ministries addressing German nationals living abroad. The Emigration Protection Act ensures that correct information is given to those who are considering a move abroad, which may well account for the inclusion of references to Germans living abroad in a number of Acts. There are...
Voting from abroad is one policy area with significant positive developments in recent years, in line with other countries’ expansion of the right to vote from abroad (Bauböck 2005). The right to vote was granted to German citizens living abroad (aged 18 and older) in 1985, with that right both expanded and facilitated since then (Pautsch and Mülle...
This chapter reviews the interactions of the German Government with its nationals abroad, focusing on the policies adopted for this specific population. It contrasts the lack of targeted policies for non-resident Germans with the cultural outreach to ethno-national German minorities in Central and Eastern Europe.
