Pasting this post from a Facebook group that i came across (I'm not fb OP). It's crazy what's going on Munich and the waiting times are around 2 years now. Courts in Munich have also  started to suspend lawsuits for 18 months. I really wish and hope they digitalize the system.

Servus,

Some of you may remember me posting about submitting freedom of information requests regarding information relevant to the citizenship waiting times. It's been frustrating, but I at least have some data now to show for it. 

One request has received an answer. Although the data is not what I asked for, it is still very interesting.
