Yep -- Germany LOVES the degree (the fact that they love certifications and titles is so true). I have a colleague without a degree working as a software developer, but for me they required a photo copy of my diploma for whatever reason.

If you went to Austria instead (of Germany), you probbably would have needed a notarially certified copy of your diiploma (there is a true story behind this sarcastic remark). ;-)

Just wow. I don't know what they hope to gain from these pieces of paper, but alright :D
