Her citizenship may be restorable, depending on the circumstances of her ancestor’s departure. (The rules are pretty clear.) German citizenship does not automatically flow to non-citizen spouses. Those spouses get a somewhat faster track (five years residency instead of seven) and I believe they are allowed permanent residency status. But for citizenship, the spouse need to pass a civics test and pass a B6-level (high-school fluency) language test, like everyone else who applies.

 

I learned all this while applying to have my German citizenship restored.

 

I believe Germany is the only country to allow for restored citizenship for the descendants of those who’s nationality were revoked during the Nazi era. Certainly Austria and Poland don’t.

The Right of Return may indeed allow this. Her ancestor was a miner in Colorado, from Leipzig. She has a picture of him. 

The story of 45's grandfather, and how he left, returned, and was kicked out of Germany for wont of military service, is well documented, and so I'm wondering if the facts might bar him.

She can move to Germany, this great grandfather being very well documented, and apply for EU citizenship.

Does that mean 45 could, too?
