In 2024, the German workforce was made up of around 84 percent Germans and 16 percent foreign nationals. In the field of advertising and marketing, around 90 percent of employees were German and 9.6 percent were not.

In 2021, around 90 percent of respondents in Germany stated that one of the key issues in corporate diversity management was employees with different cultural backgrounds. 78 percent saw a balanced gender ratio as one of the most important issues.

How do people living in contemporary Germany react to diversification in their every- day life? What undergirds pro-diversity perspectives among those who live in rapidly diversifying cities? Conversely, what are their limits, and what groups are excluded? The Diversity Assent (DivA) project was designed to understand the foundations and mechanisms underlying the acceptance of socio-demographic heterogeneity on multiple dimensions in cities located both in West and East Germany. Two core motivations underlie the project. So far, we insufficiently understand what motivates those who oppose right- wing positions – usually a majority among inhabitants of cities in Germany and other Western European countries. Second, this project builds on a previous large-scale project of the Socio-Cultural Diversity department at MPI-MMG, “Diversity and Contact”. In particular, it explores to what extent attitudes and patterns of interaction have changed, or remained constant, in the decade from 2010 to 2020, which was a time of major ruptures and political polarization. We designed a large telephone survey of 2,917 respondents asking a set of interrelated questions on dispositions towards diversity, everyday experiences and diversification dynamics. This includes a set of survey experiments designed to tap and measure social norms of tolerance.

Infineon, the largest German semiconductor manufacturer, was the most diverse company in Germany in 2021. Fashion company Hugo Boss, then the arms and automotive manufacturer Rheinmetall round off the top three.

According to a report by StepStone in 2021, almost 51 percent of respondents German companies needed to catch up with workplace diversity throught the promotion of older employees. Around 50 percent of people thought equal opportunity of promotions was something needed to be improved.

In institutions of higher education, both internationality and diversity are highly valued. Yet the relationship between these two values often remains undefined. On the one hand, the ‘internationalisation imperative’ and the ‘diversity imperative’ can be regarded as two sides of the same coin. On the other hand, they are perceived as two different tasks and are associated with different groups, interests, and organisational units. To better understand their nexus, this article presents a comparative analysis of German and Polish universities. It identifies the administrative units and actors responsible for managing internationalisation and diversity. Mixed methods were used, including surveys in university administrations, publicly available data from universities’ websites, and qualitative interviews with practitioners in both fields. The results illustrate how the traditional ‘International Offices’ and the more recently established ‘Diversity Offices’ are equipped and related to each other. Regarding internationalisation, German and Polish universities have comparable national trajectories as both institutionalise this task at the administrative level and within university leadership. At the same time, there is a gap between the two countries in terms of how they deal with the diversity imperative. Finally, the article raises the practical question of whether the respective units need to reconceptualise their relationship in the future.

Survey of urban aphid biodiversity carried out in 2017 and partially repeated in 2018 along an urbanization gradient in Berlin, Germany. Surveys took place along diagonal transects in 20 quadrats (4x4m) of dry grasslands from the Cityscapelabs. In 2017, aphid abundances were recorded for aphids on Asteraceae host plants, along with Asteraceae species cover and ant presence. Aphid species present on other type of plant hosts were also noted. In 2018, almost the same subset of quadrats were surveyed, noting only aphid presence on each host plant. This table contains the index of all tables forming this data collection.

In 2021, according to a survey among those responsible for diversity management in their company, the most important diversity management measure in Germany was to focus on flexible working hour models; 80 percent of respondents stated that this was an important issue. For over two thirds of respondents, restructuring recruiting processes was also a key priority for diversity in the workplace.

The survey explored attitudes towards increasing diversity in German society and how individuals deal with it. The focus was on the importance of acceptance of diversity for social cohesion in the country. Acceptance of diversity was conceived as a multidimensional construct and recorded in terms of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic weakness, ethnic origin and religion. In addition, the personal and structural conditions for a high level of acceptance of diversity as well as the possibilities of promoting political and civil society influence on it were surveyed.

The cross-sectional data was collected between the beginning of May and mid-July 2018 within the framework of a standardised CATI survey. For this purpose, a dual-frame telephone selection frame of landline and mobile numbers in the ratio 55:45 provided by ADM was used. In order to provide a meaningful representation of the less populous federal states, a disproportionate country stratification was applied, which can be balanced by weighting. The selection of the target persons for fixed-network connections was carried out according to the last-birthday method, whereas for mobile connections the main user of the device was interviewed. The resulting sample comprises 3,025 randomly reached German-speaking persons and is representative of the resident population of the Federal Republic of Germany aged 16 and over. The interviews lasted an average of 34 minutes. Data collection was carried out by infas - Institut für angewandte Sozialwissenschaft GmbH, Bonn.

The survey provides data on attitudes to diversity and its dimensions, to elites and people with different lifestyles, to politics and globalisation; and to the acceptance of diversity in one´s own environment (neighbourhood and family). Also recorded were perceptions of social cohesion; subjective well-being; personality traits; the experience of respect and discrimination; and socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the target persons.
Awareness of the term diversity in relation to society; life satisfaction; assessment of the economic situation in Germany and of one´s own economic situation; threat vs. enrichment of life by increasing diversity; agreement with various statements (most of the people I deal with in everyday life treat me with respect, I don´t get on so well with people who are significantly older or significantly younger than me, I definitely wouldn´t want to live in a multi-generational household, if you´re old, you´re old and shouldn´t always pretend to be young); statements on compassion (e.g. I experience myself as compassionate and caring towards people who are less fortunate than I am, etc.); opinion on living together with people of different cultural backgrounds (I would rather not live with foreigners than with people from other countries, etc.); opinion on living together with people of different cultural backgrounds (would rather have nothing to do with foreigners, people who come to Germany should be supported in keeping their cultural roots, I always learn something new when I am together with people from other countries); agreement with various statements about religion (there should also be legal holidays for the festivals of other religions, Islam definitely fits into the Western world, religion is a private matter and religious manifestations and symbols such as crucifixes, headscarves or kippahs have no place in public); BIG 5; opinion on gender roles (I am against a women´s quota, women make too much fuss about the issue of sexual harassment, a man has to assert himself otherwise he is not a real man, many women feel very comfortable in the victim role); attitude towards sexual orientation (transsexual people should keep to themselves, homosexuals and their own children - it just doesn´t go together, changing gender is against nature, it is disgusting when homosexuals kiss in public); frequency of feeling discriminated against; opinion on people with disabilities (I find many demands of disabled people excessive, inclusion disadvantages normally developed children, the sight of disabled people bothers me); agreement with the statement: politics works more for the interests of elites than for the needy; opinion regarding the behaviour of elites (top managers, intellectuals and super-rich); opinion regarding poverty in Germany (good social net in Germany, nobody needs to be homeless, most Hartz IV recipients are work-shy, too much consideration in society for failures); opinion on people with different lifestyles (enrich my neighbourhood, people who always walk around in suits or costumes are suspicious to me, vegans are absolute weirdos); globalisation personally more as a threat or as an opportunity; feelings about increasing diversity (anxious, calm, comfortable, relaxed, strained, restless, worried, content); acceptance of diversity in one´s own environment (neighbourhood and family) (people who are much older or...

This study represents the first comprehensive molecular assessment of freshwater fishes and lampreys from Germany. We analysed COI sequences for almost 80% of the species mentioned in the current German Red List. In total, 1056 DNA barcodes belonging to 92 species from all major drainages were used to (i) build a reliable DNA barcode reference library, (ii) test for phylogeographic patterns, (iii) check for the presence of barcode gaps between species and (iv) evaluate the performance of the barcode index number (BIN) system, available on the Barcode of Life Data Systems. For over 78% of all analysed species, DNA barcodes are a reliable means for identification, indicated by the presence of barcode gaps. An overlap between intra- and interspecific genetic distances was present in 19 species, six of which belong to the genus Coregonus. The Neighbour-Joining phenogram showed 60 nonoverlapping species clusters and three singleton species, which were related to 63 separate BIN numbers. Furthermore, Barbatula barbatula, Leucaspius delineatus, Phoxinus phoxinus and Squalius cephalus exhibited remarkable levels of cryptic diversity. In contrast, 11 clusters showed haplotype sharing, or low levels of divergence between species, hindering reliable identification. The analysis of our barcode library together with public data resulted in 89 BINs, of which 56% showed taxonomic conflicts. Most of these conflicts were caused by the use of synonymies, inadequate taxonomy or misidentifications. Moreover, our study increased the number of potential alien species in Germany from 14 to 21 and is therefore a valuable groundwork for further faunistic investigations.

Bacterial diversity and community composition should be assessed for grassland and forest soils in the three German Biodiversity Exploratories (Schorfheide-Chorin, Hainich-Dun, Schwabische Alb). Grassland soil samples were derived from meadows, pastures or mown pastures that were either fertilized or non-fertilized. Forest soil samples were derived from age class forest, selection forest or natural forest and dominated by either beech, oak, pine or spruce trees.The study focused on the effect of land use, management, fertilization and tree species as well as edaphic parameters onto the bacterial community and diversity to identify drivers of diversity and community composition.
