The community of Germans with Indian background includes Indian expatriates in Germany, as well as German citizens of Indian origin or descent. In 2009, the German government estimated that the number of people of Indian descent residing in Germany at 110,204. Of which 43,175 people were holding an Indian passport, while 67,029 were holding a German passport.[2]

History

In the late 1960s and 1970s, many Malayali Catholic women from Kerala were recruited by the German Catholic institutions to work as nurses in German hospitals.[3] Until 1973, when Germany ceased issuing working visas for guest workers, German companies hired many Indians as engineers.

In 2001, the German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder issued the German green card for IT professionals, which brought another 20,000 Indians to Germany.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} Indian IT professionals working in Germany on blue cards are primarily men. 2001 statistics showed just 7.8% were women.[4]

Modern era

Germany has become a popular destination for higher learning, and of the total student population in Germany about 12% are International students[5]. Hundreds of schools in India have signed up to teach students German as their primary foreign language as part of an effort by Germany's top technical colleges to attract more Indian students[6]. As a result, there has been a steady increase in the Indian student population in Germany which has quadrupled in 7 years since 2008[7][8]. Of these, more than 80% Indian students pursue their studies or research in the STEM fields i.e., Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics[9]. There are also Indians in Germany who actively take up and organize lectures and discussions on relevant social and political issues[10][11]. In 2016, many students and research fellows at the University of Göttingen, and Goethe Institute Göttingen took part in the Dalit Asmita Yatra (meaning, Dalit Pride March)[12]. In July 2017, the first International Conference on Periyar Self-Respect Movement was organized at the University of Cologne to commemorate the 91st anniversary of the Self-Respect Movement that started in 1926[13].
