Abstract	This chapter focuses on the cultural integration of immigrants in Germany, which has the largest immigrant population in the EU and is a powerful player in the western developed world. The aim of this chapter is to study the current level of integration of immigrants in Germany. This is achieved by looking at educational gaps between partners, marriage and intermarriage rates, age at first marriage, age gaps between spouses, the number of children per woman, age at birth of first child; political interest, risk attitudes, overall life satisfaction, and female labour force participation. Additionally, we use a variation of the ethnosizer to determine the current degree of cultural integration of immigrant groups. We therefore compare immigrant groups with respect to their self-reported language abilities, their ethnic self-identification, and their religious beliefs. All these indicators are defined as deviations from natives and differentiated by ethnic origin and immigrant generation. Empirical findings are based on panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) allowing for statements about development over time. The structure of this chapter is as follows. The next section introduces the data and clarifies definitions, as well as remarking on the empirical methods used in this study. Section 3.3 presents the descriptive statistics and discusses the estimation results. The chapter concludes with a summary of findings from the analysis. (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ".
