Iranians in Germany (German: Iraner in Deutschland) include immigrants from Iran to Germany as well as their descendants of Iranian heritage or background. Iranians in Germany are referred to by hyphenated terms such as Iranian-Germans or Persian-Germans.[2][3][4][5] Similar terms Iranisch Deutsch and Persisches Deutsch, may be found in Germanophone media.[6][7][8] In 2022, Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis) estimates that 304,000 people of Iranian background live in Germany. [9]
Iranians in Germany have taken a wide range of jobs, from fashion, arts and entertainment to engineering and medicine.[10][11]
