SINCE 1954 OVER 31 MILLION PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE COME TO GERMANY.

IN THE SAME TIME 22 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE LEFT GERMANY

THE REASONS WHY THEY LEFT ARE: WARS, DESASTERS, POLITICS, AND / OR RELIGION

FOREIGN SERVICES ( RESTAURANTS, SUPERMARKETS, ETC.)

One of the effects of the immigration in Germany we can see in our everyday life. When we walk through our city, nearly at

every corner there is an Italian, Chinese or Greek restaurant. With the years the

international food became a normal part of our life. We also have lots of supermarkets, like the Asian supermarket or the Turkish

supermarket, which are led by immigrants. Nowadays the traditional food isn‘t as

distributet as the international kitchen.

In this picture you can see a Turkish restaurant which is called “Habibi Grillhaus“ in Aschaffenburg.

The Asian supermarket isn‘t just a place for Chinese people, the Germans are customers, too.

Also some restaurants from Thailand are in our hometown.

“Locanda“ is an Italian restaurant in Aschaffenburg. They have lots of pizza and pasta and Italian food. It is very popular with the Germans.
