BERLIN. Aydan Özoğuz (SPD), an integration commissioner of the Federal Government, has denied the existence of a German culture. According to Özoğuz, a specifically German culture is "simply not identifiable" beyond the language, in a guest contribution for the day's level . "Historically, regional cultures tend to have more, immigration and diversity have shaped our history. Globalization and pluralisation of living worlds lead to a further multiplication of diversity. "
Even if it is too complicated for many, Germany is diverse. "This cultural diversity is also exhausting, but it is the strength of our nation as an open society. The incantation of a leading culture, on the other hand, does not create common ground, but borders. It pours oil into the fire to keep it warm. "
The SPD politician warned that immigrants would not be able to adapt to a supposed majority of the population. Nor should they be supposed to be subject to tuition, because they were outside the local value system. In order to make diversity and "a common We" successful, it does not need a guiding culture, but "a company contract with the values of the basic law as a foundation and equal opportunities for participation as a goal," suggested Özoğuz.
