Germany is half-half. Open to immigrants because a/ its economy is an electromagnet that needs foreign talent and b/ its post war doctrine makes it imagine itself as America but with better beer. Foolish but true. Closed to immigrants because it is the clearest ethnostate in western Europe (I don't make this up, my political science professors taught that) and its culture is borderline neurotic. In general, it's the last place where I imagine locals running after brown people with pitchforks because most Germans aren't apes. They are however quite particular and have other ways of making the piece that sticks out, feel unwelcome. Immigrants from Germany's closest neighbours have trouble integrating there. French, Scandinavians, Slavs, even the Dutch. Just be aware.
