Abstract

For several decades Germany has registered high rates of immigration. Migrant labourers from Turkey and Southern Europe and their descendants who have long been residents in Germany form the largest group of persons with a migration history. The second largest group consists of ethnic Germans who mainly immigrated into Germany from the successor states of the former Soviet Union and from other East European states in the 1990s after the breakdown of communist regimes. The majority of those with migration backgrounds live in large cities and - because of their relatively low incomes - are concentrated particularly in less attractive working class neighbourhoods or in residential areas with a high percentage of social housing. The paper examines the reasons for and social consequences of the spatial concentration of migrant population in the urban migrant quarters. These quarters facilitate newly arrived migrants in adapting to the new environment by providing social networks. Migrants gain social and mental stability. But increasing length of the stay in these quarters has a distinctly negative effect on the migrants' integration process especially as a consequence of their spatial concentration in residential areas characterised by low income groups.
