Lebenslauf: the German CV — template and rules
Studying in Germany, applying for a DAAD scholarship or a job often requires a German Lebenslauf. Its rules differ from an English CV: a personal data block, MM/YYYY dates, «heute», and place, date and signature at the end. In PlagiatX you write your answers in German yourself — we don't translate, we lay them out by German conventions in one of 20 designs.

Lebenslauf structure
- Persönliche Daten: name, contacts, date of birth, nationality (Staatsangehörigkeit)
- Berufserfahrung — work experience, most recent first
- Ausbildung — education: university, field, grade (Note)
- Sprachkenntnisse — languages (Deutsch B2, Englisch C1, etc.)
- Kenntnisse, Interessen — skills and interests
- At the end: «Ort, Datum» and a signature
How it differs from an English CV
- Dates as MM/YYYY: «09/2020 – heute»
- A photo is common (not required)
- Date of birth and nationality are included — not in an English CV
- Place, date and signature at the end
- The whole text in one language — German
How it works in PlagiatX
- Answer the 7-step grant profile questionnaire in German
- Add your date of birth and nationality (shown only in the German CV)
- Choose «Deutsch (Lebenslauf)» as the CV language
- If any field is still in Uzbek or Russian, we show which one — AI does not translate
- Pick one of 20 designs and download the PDF
Questions
Will you translate my answers into German?
No. For a German CV you write the answers in German yourself, so every word is yours. We handle the labels, date format, personal data block and signature line by German conventions.
What is free and what is paid?
The questionnaire and picking a design are free. The readiness score, the CV PDF (English or German, 20 designs) and matching grants come with the GrantGlobus package — a one-time payment for 180 days. Current prices are on the Pricing page.
