Zur Akkulturation und Sozialisation von Übersiedlern aus Osteuropa. Zusammenfassende Bemerkungen über die Diskussion der Integrationsproblematik.
On the Acculturation and Socialization of Immigrants from Eastern Europe. Summary Remarks on the Discussion of Integration Issues

Summary/Abstract: The discussion on problems of socio-cultural and social integration of ethnic German immigrants from Eastern European countries into the Federal Republic and their echo, which began in early 1978 on the pages of this journal, has shown how necessary an intensive examination of these questions and how important, possibly helpful, a critical analysis of the situation of the emigrants as well as the ways of their integration into their new homeland are. Above all, this analysis seems particularly topical and necessary, because the number of emigrants from East, Central and Southeastern Europe has risen sharply in recent years and more than tripled since 1975. The annual immigration quota has also shown a rising trend in the past year. According to estimates made by a representative of the Federal Ministry of the Interior at a conference of the training organization of the German Association for Public and Private Welfare in Frankfurt am Main from 13 to 15 November 1978, it can be assumed that, in the 1980s as well, immigrants from Poland, the USSR and Romania would come to the Federal Republic of Germany. The annual immigration quota "is expected to be similar in size to the current situation "(H. U. Weth: Problems of the Integration of Repatriates, in: Nachrichtendienst, 10/1979, p. 290).
