A majority of Germans say the level of mass migration has left them feeling like a stranger in their own country, according to a new study.
Presented as part of this years Leipzig University research into authoritarian attitudes in the country, the figure showed a rise of 12 points since the Competence Center for Right-Wing Extremism and Democracy Research tested Germans on the same questions in 2014, with 56 per cent of Germans expressing the sentiment in 2018.
Other findings from the 328-page study, for which 2,416 Germans were interviewed between May and July this year, were that 44 per cent would support a ban on Muslim immigration a rise of 7.5 per cent from 2014 with agreement higher in the nations east (51 per cent) than west (42 per cent).
Citing figures which showed that 36 per cent of respondents believe Germany has been dangerously watered down by mass migration, researchers at Leipzig warned in a press release: We are seeing high levels of approval for the attitude that has been considered an entry-level drug into right-wing extremism.
Germanys international public broadcaster, Deutsche Welle, reported on the study with some alarm, claiming figures showing 60 per cent of respondents agreed that Romani Gypsies were more prone to commit crime 5 per cent more than in 2014 and that this signalled rising hatred in the German population.
While more than 90 per cent of Germans said they were a fan of democracy, the rise in xenophobic attitudes poses a threat to the democratic system, according to the studys lead author, Oliver Decker.

It wasn’t long ago my German friend swore the invaders wouldn’t change Germany...
Wow... wasn’t the University of Leipzig called the “University of Karl Marx” prior to the wall coming down?
Merkel attended the Karl Marx University. Now Leipzig.
It was done here as well very quietly, we all remember stories about midnight dumping of illegal aliens into small towns across America during the a##hats non presidency
Xeno——What?
As long as they keep Merkel in office, as long as they vote for ANYONE but AfD, then I have no sympathy.
Next thing, they'll be wanting borders and stuff.
“I thought that the article was about Germans in Germany? “
You’re obviously not an Open Borders supporter. Don’t you know? There are no borders anymore, and folks are no longer constrained by national origin, ethnicity, or that Border Guard standing on that thin little line previously know as a border. In other words, get with the program and...
Love the one you’re with...
“Even family members of mine have become estranged.”
Sad, sad truth. #metoo
The Germans have done it to themselves with their deference to elites, the disastrous Gaia worshiping global socialist ideology of those elites guided by their hypersmug arrogance and carried out by unelected bureaucrats.
Socialism for all and let the whole third world flush the toilet straight into our country. What could go wrong? If you object to any of this, why then youre racist Nazi Hitler and you want to drag us all back to the trenches!
This has been their attitude for decades. Any real dissent was deemed beyond the pale. Now its too late. The country has been irrevocably altered for the worse. Socialism was always doomed but it was at least a manageable decline before. Now there will be blood.
Maybe as much damage as Hitler, without the carnage?
(I’) Manassas (s) has been a lost cause for a while even though they keep building (and slowly losing) more non-Mexican areas.
Germany is ahead of the US in self-destruction but the cause is the same: Unchecked Democracy. The original US Constitution was designed to check the internal contradictions of democracy. Democracy will always expand its reach, until the last dregs of society can vote and through that run the asylum (e.g., Broward Co. sheriff brought in democrats to register felons to vote, including the Parkland school mass murderer). Unrestricted democracy is why our politicians are corrupt idiots. It always ends in communism, economic ruin, idiotic decisions, unmanageable debt, senseless wars, and societal collapse. Sorry to be so positive, but you can see this all around us.
I feel that way when I go to the mall in Fairfax, VA.
Gwinnett county GA where we live is a similar situation. We are currently renovating the House for sale next spring and moving to the mountains as are many of our neighbors. It’s a combination of burka central and Mexico.
Same here....lost my friend of 50+ years.
Well, it appears that we do agree.
