Not so alone as one might think . . .

There are actually oodles of foreigners in Germany, and the number of German citizens with a "immigrant background" are another ca. 10% of the total population.

For those of you who are confused, in Germany, "." is a thousands seperator and "," is the decimal point. You'll see that the city states have higher % of foreigners than the "surface states". BW has a relatively high percentage of foreigners (I am doing my part!). In Stuttgart, 1 in every 4 residents doesn't have a German passport.

More fun German statistics here.
