Love and paperwork might be a better way of describing marriage in Germany. We set down a few markers for finding your way through the bureaucratic maze to wedlock.Falling in love is often the easy part. It’s the paper war that follows as you prepare to tie the knot, which can really a test relationship.
So, how to get married? That depends on which country you come from. German law regarding marriage partly depends on the law of your home country.
Either contact your embassy to find out what documents are necessary or go to your local Standesamt (Registrar’s Office), normally located in the local Rathaus. They can tell you what you need to do.
You can also apply for ‘Aufenthalterlaubnis’ (residence permit) with your marriage certificate.

Recognition of gay relationships
The institution of marriage in Germany has undergone something of a revolution in recent years with the arrival of so-called gay marriages, which was an attempt by the nation’s Social Democrat-Green Party coalition government to bring gay relationship into line with straight couples.
Gay marriages are officially known an ‘Eingetragenelebensgemeinschaft’.
However, conservative lawmakers in parliament have refused to accept provisions of the gay marriage law, so in the end it falls short of equality with straights, especially in regard to taxation.
Hi,
Im Argentinian guy and legally married with a German guy in Munich. We have been married for almost 2 years. I have a visa till 2010 (three years visa). After 2010 I m suppossed to get my permanent residence in Germany.
My question is : If we decide to separate and live in different appartments, how does it work with my permanent residence in 2010 ? Do I loose it ? Im employeed here since I arrived. In case I change my visa from family reunification to work permit, do I still get my permanent residence in 2010 ?
