The person that answered above me was incorrect. You could have dual citizenship. I would check your birth certificate. If you are still confused, try to find out information by contacting your local courthouse and see what needs to be done to find out if you have dual citizenship.

Germany does not enable twin citizenship. At 18 you've 5 years to make your innovations up which nationality you want to have, in accordance to German regulation. although, this won't note to you as your mum and dad does not have lived in Germany for lengthy sufficient for that to observe, so the probability is you at the instantaneous are not technically German in any respect yet purely American. children of non-German mum and dad born in Germany received't be German electorate as German nationality regulation relies upon in basic terms about entirely on who your mum and dad are, not even if you've been born there - American nationality regulation is any opposite direction round. one element you may prefer to imagine about, in case you do have the alternative, is that it really is way extra complication at immigration for non-human beings entering into the u . s . a . than it really is for human beings entering right into a ecu u . s . - I hate it each and anytime I visit the u . s . a . (i'm British). Assuming your mum and dad registered your delivery with the yankee consulate in Germany on the time, there should be no situation getting an American passport.

The answer would be yes.
I don't know the specifics, but I studied it for a while one time and the requirements were that an outsider would have to spend a total of eight years in Germany to be granted a citizenship. I don't know how they manage it for native-born people.
Actually this is the resource site I had used before, maybe it would help you? http://www.bmi.bund.de/cln_028/nn_148264/Internet/Content/Themen/Staatsangehoerigkeit/Einzelseiten/Erwerb__der__deutschen__Staatsbuergerschaft__durch__Eingbuergerung__en.html
Viel Glück :D

I'm thinking you became a U.S citizen you kiss your Germany citizenship bye bye read answer 4 below if you don't believe me ?
American-German Dual Nationality
1. Both the United States and Germany recognize the concept of multiple nationality.
2. A child born to an American parent and a German parent acquires both American and German citizenship at birth, regardless of place of birth, if the parents satisfy the jus soli or jus sanguinis requirements of their respective countries. See the sections above entitled, "Basic Primer on American Citizenship Law," and "Basic Primer on German Citizenship Law." Neither country requires a person born under these circumstances to choose between American and German citizenship, i.e., he/she may keep both citizenships his/her entire life.
3. A child born in Germany to two American parents may also become a dual national at birth under the circumstances described in paragraph 4 in the section above entitled, "Basic Primer on German Citizenship Law." Under German law, he/she would have to choose between American and German citizenship before turning 23.
4. Under German law, a person may not have more than one citizenship unless he/she was born with both, as described in paragraphs 2 and 3 above. Thus, German law requires an American who becomes a German citizen through the Einbürgerung process (see paragraph 5 in the section entitled, "Basic Primer on German Citizenship Law") to formally renounce his/her American citizenship, and a German who becomes an American citizen (see paragraph 5 in the section entitled, "Basic Primer on American Citizenship Law") to give up his/her German citizenship.
5. While Germany recognizes the concept of dual nationality, for most purposes it considers a dual national in Germany a German citizen only. Thus, the ability of the U.S. Embassy and consulates to provide assistance to an American-German dual national in Germany may be limited. The reverse is true in the U.S., where such a person is considered only American for most purposes, and where the German Embassy or consulates may be able to offer only limited assistance. For more information, please contact the Embassy or your nearest consulate.

If you still want to vote you can have an absentee ballot sent to you in Germany. So the answer is yes.
