I am actually surprised they didn't omit this part:

The report found that almost two thirds (65 per cent) of people with a migration background are from other European countries

FYI, Germany has a long history of inter-european immigration, from the Huguenots in Prussia to the large polish population in the Rhinearea (coal-mining), as evidenced by lots of surviving polish surnames. (Most famous fictional one would be this dude from the holy grail of german crime dramas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Schimanski)

Only slightly. To quote from the source:

Wichtigste Herkunftsländer sind nach wie vor die Türkei (13 %), gefolgt von Polen (11 %) und der Russischen Föderation (7 %).

Most important source countries are as before Turkey (13%), followed by Poland (11%) and the Russian Federation (7%). Or: 13% Turks, 18% Slavs. :P

Btw, unlike most other statistics this one doesn't count me (as the child of germans born outside of Germany) as someone with "Migrationshintergrund". Interesting.
