Did you have to be German to buy land in 1960?

In 1960, the legal requirements for buying land in Germany did not explicitly state that a person had to be German to purchase property. However, foreign nationals often faced bureaucratic hurdles and restrictions, depending on the region and specific circumstances. In many cases, they needed to obtain permission from local authorities, which could vary widely. Thus, while it wasn't a strict requirement, being German could simplify the process significantly.
