non-Germans
Not from Deutschland
Non-Germans are people who are not German by nationality, ethnicity, or citizenship.
The term appears in legal, historical, and demographic contexts: Non-Germans must apply for a residence permit.
Like most "non-" formations, it defines a group by what they lack rather than what they share.
