The German government handed out a record number of citizenships to immigrants last year, rising to nearly a quarter of a million passports, with Syrian and Turkish nationals representing the largest cohorts.
According to data collected by 13 of 16 federal states in Germany and provided to the Welt Am Sonntag newspaper, 249,901 foreigners were granted citizenship in 2024, the highest number since records began in 2000. This number surpassed the previous record set in 2023, when 200,095 people were awarded citizenship.
Last year’s record naturalisation number is likely much higher, given that the states of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Schleswig-Holstein did not provide naturalisation records, with data set for release in the coming weeks.
Once again, Syrians and Turks were the main ethnic groups recorded as obtaining German citizenship. However, the paper did note a noticeable increase in the number of Russians being naturalised.
General Manager of the German Association of Cities Helmut Dedy told Welt that the significant increase in the number of citizenships handed out was a result of the immigration reforms implemented by the previous ‘traffic light’ coalition government of ex-Chancellor Olaf Scholz last year, which reduced the number of years spent in the country to become eligible down from eight to five years.
“Many people who came to us during the major refugee movements in 2015 and 2016 are now submitting applications or have already done so,” Dedy added. --->READ MORE HERE
The knives aren’t just in hands — they’re in the heart of what used to be a country
Germany, the economic heart of Europe — the supposed gold standard of order, stability, and industrial might — is unravelling in full view. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s not nationalist hysteria. It’s a fact, carved into the skin of innocent commuters, children, and schoolteachers. What once stood as the engine of Europe is now a cautionary tale in slow-motion collapse. A nation once known for precision, discipline, and security now radiates something closer to fatigue and fear. The cracks aren’t subtle anymore, they’re gaping, and they run through every level of German society.
Hamburg, one of the most vital arteries in Germany’s circulatory system, was the scene of the latest horror. Seventeen injured, some critically, in yet another knife attack, this time carried out by a 39-year-old woman at the city’s main train station. No political motive, we’re told. Just mental distress. Another lone wolf. Another one-off. Another excuse. But I’m skeptical, and for good reason. In today’s Germany, these so-called random stabbings almost always trace back to the same source. The same radical worldview. The same imported hostility toward everything for which the West stands. It’s there, lurking beneath the surface, over and over again.
It’s become a ritual now: blood on concrete, sirens screaming, and officials falling over themselves to insist this isn’t part of a broader pattern. Only it is.
On Thursday, May 22, a 13-year-old Arab boy stabbed his classmate at a Berlin elementary school. That same day, an 11-year-old Iraqi boy stabbed a peer on the school playground in Remscheid. These children brought kitchen knives to school. Not fists, not words — knives. Children barely old enough to ride the train alone now arrive at school carrying deadly weapons and settling playground disputes with stabs to the leg and neck. This isn’t just about crime. It’s about a slow, grinding erosion of Western values; values Germany once embodied. The old Germany believed in rules, order, and protecting its own. Now it lectures citizens on tolerance while their children bleed in school hallways. This is what the political class calls “integration”.
This isn’t integration. This is insanity, and everyone knows it. Teachers, bus drivers, doctors, police — all of them living and working inside the reality that polite society refuses to name. These attacks aren’t outliers. They’re symptoms. On Sunday, May 18, another knife tore through Germany’s thinning social fabric, this time in Bielefeld. The attacker was a Syrian asylum seeker named Mahmoud M. The scene: a group of young people celebrating Arminia Bielefeld’s promotion to the football league outside of a bar. A moment of joy quickly transformed into a bloodbath. When police entered the perpetrator’s apartment, they found books on Islam, a photo of a Hezbollah leader, and an image of Abdullah Öcalan, the jailed head of the PKK, a group that Europe still considers a terrorist organization.
A few days earlier, an Afghan asylum seeker stabbed a jogger to death, with no provocation, no warning; just another “random” act of imported chaos. The victim was a French software developer living in Germany. Out for a run. Now dead. --->READ MORE HERE
