Can I attend my brother’s wedding in France during my asylum procedure in Germany?

Question

My brother got married in France. Government procedure is done. Now he wants to do the religious part of the marriage. I have to attend that.

My asylum procedure is going on now here in Germany. Will I get a travel permit to go to France for 2-3 days, so i can attend the wedding and come back ?

Hinweis: one year before I attended his wedding, when i had German residence permit. Now, I've applied for asylum, cause things has changed at home.

Dear @helios, 

thank you for sharing your question with the Wefugees Community!

I am sorry to tell you, but unfortunately it is not possible as an asylum seeker with an "Aufenthaltsgestattung" to travel outside of Germany! If you do so and get caught, you will loose your Aufenthaltsgestattung and won´t be able to enter Germany anymore.
