Following Article 116 (2) of the German constitution, a descendent of a person whose German citizenship was taken away by the Nazi-regime, can reclaim German Citizenship. In which cases does this apply?
As for the definition in Article 116 (2) of the German constitution (Grundgesetz - GG), German citizenship is deemed to have been ‘withdrawn’ for political, religious or racial reasons, if it was either
- automatically lost as a consequence of § Section 2 of the 11th Ordinance to the Reich Citizenship Act of 25 November 1941 or
- if it was withdrawn by the Nazis with an act based on the Law on the Revocation of Naturalisation and the Withdrawal of German Citizenship of 14 July 1933in individual cases.
The same might also apply in other cases, which needs to be checked on a case to case basis.
