"Imitation German"—that’s how Tülin’s mother describes herself after more than 50 years in Germany. Tülin, too, born in Berlin-Neukölln, has been grappling with the question since childhood: How German can and must I be?

Tülin Sezgin
Every encounter shifts the answer in this search for identity. Tülin lives in a constant balancing act between being a Berliner with an immigrant background in Germany and an “Almanci girl” in Turkey. Her career as a civil servant (quite German!) rounds out the picture.
With humor and a keen sense of human nature, she recounts the moments that shaped, strengthened, or even hurt her—and sharpened her eye for characters, quirks, and clichés.
Tülin Sezgin, who rose to fame as the comedian “Conny from the Block,” transforms stereotypes into characters, captivating German audiences in the process.
“Finally, the stories are being told that reveal our inner conflict. How German do I have to be? Can I be German? Do I even want to be German? As German as Tülin?” Tahsim Durgun
