There are quite a few studies in the literature on the admission of workers to Germany, which started after World War II in order to close the labor shortage, and the social and cultural adventures of immigrants who were accepted as workers. With the transfer of families, the second and third generations of the immigrant population, which became an important issue in terms of population and social aspects, began to contribute to German culture and social life. An immigrant intelligentsia writing in German emerged. Works of literary quality were written and these began to be characterized as a separate literary genre. There have been some hesitations and contradictions regarding this literary genre based on the immigration and cultural policies of the Germans. The aim of this study, in which the survey model is applied, is to draw attention to the positioning of writers of Turkish origin who migrated to Germany or were born and raised there and their literature in German literature in the axis of German immigration and cultural policy. The difference in the positioning of the authors' literary identities and their works in the context of changing immigration and cultural policies in the official discourses of German society and literature is examined for the first time in this study.
