Why?
The largest group of people with a migration background in Germany has roots in Turkey – around 2.6 million people. Many families came from 1961 onwards through the recruitment agreement with Turkey, at first as “guest workers” (Gastarbeiter). Very many people also came from Poland: if you only count the people who immigrated themselves, without their children, Poland and Turkey are about level today.
