Summary/Abstract: The political participation of Mowassat, Özkan, or Sharma alongside Schmidt, Maier, or Beck is already a routine part of German politics. But scholar interest has not yet been directed towards politicians with migration backgrounds in Germany. Politicians, as the faces of political parties, are not only the movers of electoral politics. Diversity among party faces hints at the composition of the given society and its politics.
