"People born in 1990 are more likely to have an immigration background, and more likely to be highly educated, than the general German population. As the country marks its 35th anniversary, here's a look at how the nation's 35-year-olds are living. People who were born in 1990 are the same age as Germany itself, as that was the year in which the former countries of East- and West Germany were officially unified to form the nation as we know it today."
"Today, 36 percent of 35-year-olds have an immigration background in Germany. Across the population, the number of people with an immigration background falls to 26 percent.

With a few exceptions, this means they weren't yet living in Germany in 1990, the year of German reunification."
About 1.1 million people born in 1990 form a cohort representing approximately 1.4 percent of Germany's population. Thirty-five-year-olds are concentrated in cities such as Leipzig, Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt am Main. Thirty-six percent of 35-year-olds have an immigration background, compared with 26 percent across the population, and 29 percent of 35-year-olds immigrated to reunified Germany themselves. Fifty-six percent of 35-year-olds live with children, with 66 percent of women and 46 percent of men living with children. The cohort is more likely than the general population to be highly educated.
