Mayor Nino Haase Presents 71 Naturalization Certificates at the PCK
Like any other country, the Federal Republic of Germany grants its citizens rights that are not available to foreigners who are citizens of other countries. Only upon obtaining a German passport do these individuals also acquire the same rights and obligations.
As part of the naturalization ceremony taking place in a festive setting on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., Mayor Nino Haase will present naturalization certificates to 71 fellow citizens from a total of 32 countries at the Peter Cornelius Conservatory (Concert Hall, Binger Straße 18, 55122 Mainz). They will be declared German citizens the moment the documents are handed over. Among them are 59 adults and 12 children and adolescents.
The largest national groups are:
- Iran (8 people),
- Russia and Syria (7 people each),
- Macedonia (5),
- Turkey (4),
- Chile, Colombia, and Pakistan (3 each),
- and many more.
