No, that's completly impossible. Remember around 1990, there have been about 7% immigrants. So if maybe 2% of those immigrants marry Germans, you got 2% of these marriages. A term like "interracial" does not exist, the term race is not used at all. You marry a foreigner, that's exotic enough, if it's one from denmark or nigeria doesn't make a difference, it's rare. With 2nd/3rd generations, and an immagration background rate of 25% today, it's becoming more common. but still less than 10% I guess. The question is Turkish or Danish a race, we don't want to discuss or answer in Germany. It's common knowledge to say "There are no human races".

It's the essential part of any family celebration. So normal, people don't even talk about it. The habit of having storages, some took over, but that's mainly an import. Besides the wedding cake , you normally have 20 other cakes. So everybody can find something they like. Germans are picky with their cake, It's about taste, while American cakes seem to be about decoration only. And the cake is a meal by itself. Around 4pm, like English tea time. It's not a desert, people are hungry, it's a meal.

Germans just realize, it doesn't make any difference to have a marriage certifcate or not, except for taxes. People just move together in the same appartment, may have kids, and no marriage is necessary. Unless you got some religious burdon, who declares this shameful.

@covenawhite4855 as you like it. That's maximal freedom. As said, marriage is only to save taxes, also inheritance tax. In your will and Testament you can inherit to whoever you want. Your spouse is just not the default, if you have no Testament.

@ArumWaharatri this tradition is really extinct for sure. But worldwide, not just in germany.
