🇩🇪German Citizenship Screener

Question 1 of 7

Did any ancestor of German heritage or citizenship lose their citizenship, leave Germany or Austria, or flee due to Nazi-era persecution between 1933 and 1955?

This includes Jewish ancestors, political opponents, Roma, anyone stripped of citizenship by Nazi law, or anyone who fled and naturalized elsewhere because they had no choice. If this applies, a much simpler restitution route (§15 StAG / Art. 116(2) GG) may be available, with no generational limit and no language test.
