The central focus of this essay is the "politicisation" of ethnicity in contemporary
German immigration policy and its underlying ethnic ideology. <br>Emphasis is put on
the relevance of ethnicity and how it is viewed within the framework of German
immigration policy. The author discusses German citizenship policy and its ideology,
which creates ethnic boundaries in order to serve as a mechanism to defend limited
access to German citizenship. The effects of the elevation of so-called ethnic groups
through privileged immigration are explained with the example of ethnic German
emigrants living in the former Soviet Union – the "Auslandsdeutschen" – and the
process of their ethnic formation.
