According the a representative of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ottawa, Aufenhaltserlaubnis is a generic term refering to residence permits in general (21 July 1993). Two kinds of residence permits are currently issued in Germany: the unlimited residence permit or Aufenhaltsgehnemigung, delivered to temporary residents for a period of one to two years, and the unlimited residence permit or Aufenhaltsberechtigung, delivered to people who have lived in Germany for more than five years (Ibid.).
No additional or corroborating information on this topic is currently available to the DIRB in Ottawa.
