Germany now allows its citizens to acquire the citizenship of other EU countries without losing their German citizenship. For how long has this been the case?
Since 28. August 2007, where in Section 25 (1) sentence 2 StAG was added.
§ 25 Abs. 1 Satz 2 StAG
Der Verlust nach Satz 1 tritt nicht ein, wenn ein Deutscher die Staatsangehörigkeit eines anderen Mitgliedstaates der Europäischen Union, der Schweiz oder eines Staates erwirbt, mit dem die Bundesrepublik Deutschland einen völkerrechtlichen Vertrag nach § 12 Abs. 3 abgeschlossen hat.Section 25 (1) sentence 2 StAG
The loss under sentence 1 does not arise if a German acquires the citizenship of another member state of the European Union, Switzerland or a state with which the Federal Republic of Germany has concluded a contract under international law pursuant to § 12 (3).
