German Lebenslauf

The German Lebenslauf is a tabular, strictly chronological document: dates on the left, content on the right, complete and gap-free. Personal data such as date of birth, nationality and marital status may appear depending on the template or employer, and the photo remains optional in most modern applications.

German CV (Lebenslauf) — Frequently Asked Questions

Lebenslauf is the German term. It is typically a tabular, two-page document with personal data at the top and a complete, gap-free chronology.

No — since the AGG (anti-discrimination law), photos and personal data such as date of birth and marital status are optional. Many candidates still include a professional photo.

The German application folder: Lebenslauf, Anschreiben (cover letter), Zeugnisse (certificates) and references, usually sent as one PDF or a ZIP — exactly the pack our German module is built for.
