englischThis dissertation presents 26 biographies and the stories of migrants from 11 different countries who came to Germany between 2011 and 2015. Based on a one-year period of research conducted in Münsterland (NRW) in 2015/2016, the work approaches its subject matter from an individual perspective in order to highlight the multidimensionality of migration and thus liberate migrants from the image of a passive mass of people, which is often propagated in politics and the media, and introduce them as autonomous actors. The biographies are outlined in detail by means of narrative interviews in order to investigate the reasons why the people interviewed decided to migrate. Therefore, this work shows that in addition to the obvious reasons for a person leaving their home country, such as war, persecution and discrimination, even complex biographical events and experiences can influence their decision to migrate.
