39% language and culture; 19% democracy, welfare, freedom, economy and safety; 26% legal requirements for citizenship; 16% personality-traits typical for Germans. These findings expand upon and add nuance to the commonly used civic vs. ethnic national identity content typology. largest number of participants are consistent with Germany’s strong ethno-cultural tradition in citizenship laws, that how Germans see themselves appears to be quite different from what they expect from immigrants and that a substantial number of Germans has no relationship with their nation at all.

German collective identity remains aligned with the national theories of the Romantics, resulting in ethnic discrimination and heightened fears over the loss of culture through external ideological and ethnic sources.

A popular nationalism. “Germanness”, Immigration, Integration. The ethnic component of collective identities still important in how people interact in German society. German neo-nationalism has taken on an ethnocultural form that reflects 19th century theories. German collective identity is not as firmly grounded in a constitutional patriotism or a form of postnationalism, but involves strong cultural and ethnic elements that define how Germans view the Volk. the perceived importance of one’s cultural history

A new look at ‘National Identity’: How should we think about ‘collective’ or ‘national identities’? Are there two types of national identities? Does Germany have an ethnic identity, and is it different?

A more multidimensional analysis of elements of national identity is proposed, which clarifies some possible meanings of ‘ethnic’, ‘cultural’ and ‘political’ in this context. These considerations are then applied to the case of German national identity.
Components of national identity, patriotism, loyaly and support. Racialist discourse, or ethnic discourse in a narrow sense, has been thoroughly discredited in Germany through National Socialism. National pride and enthusiasm are also still regarded with comparative reserve. Since 1989, the ‘national question’ with respect to the ‘two Germanies’ is closed. European identity
Whither Willkommenskultur? National identity discourses and the arrival of refugees in Germany in 2015/16
Kropp&Minatti 2023

How do media discourses on German national identity differ before and after the arrival of refugees in 2015/16? 2014 and 2019 and find an important shift within the media representation of German national identity. 2014, a self-understanding of Germany as an immigration country dominated the media landscape, by 2019, national identity discourses became more fragmented and neither the idea of a tolerant Germany nor the idea of an anti-immigration Germany clearly dominated. Based on this analysis, we argue that 2015/16 can be understood as a turning point for discourses on German national identity.

Changing Aspects of National Identity in Germany
Westle 1993
At first glance, the question of whether East and West Germans have developed different national identities may seem to be answered by the overall support for German unification. This impression has been reinforced by first results from empirical research in both parts of Germany, which showed a great similarity of attitudes and provoked the question of whether 40 years of separation in fundamentally different political, economic and social systems really could have had no effect on people’s political orientations. In the following we try to identify similarities and differences in the collective political orienta- tions of East and West Germans in 1990.
National Identities in Troubled Times: Germany and Southern European Countries after the Great Recession
Ruiz Jiménez et al 2021
This article aims to elucidate the effects of the Great Recession and the retrenchment of welfare on national identity in several European countries. While different authors have observed that good economic performance, redistribution, and the growth of welfare strengthen countries as political communities of solidarity, there is much less empirical evidence regarding the consequences of an economic crisis for national identity. To investigate these consequences, we focus on a set of countries where the 2008 Great Recession resulted in different impacts, namely, Germany and four countries in Southern Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece).
