Abstract
This research analyzes the attitudes towards immigrants in Germany from 2004 to
2016 and tries to uncover the determinants behind, using an ordered logit regression
model. My findings suggest that high income, university education, recent immigration flow, adherence to Islam, high religiosity, being employed, being from the Western
part of Germany, being widowed, and having never been married positively affect the
view about immigrants. Respondents with such characteristics believe that immigrants
positively affect the cultural life in Germany and make the country a better place to live
in. Moreover, while females believe that immigrants positively affect the cultural life
in Germany, elderly Germans and respondents whose parents were born in Germany
believe that immigrants make the country a worse place to live in even though they do
not undermine the cultural life.
