I wish it were. Google "lebenslauf muster" in image search to see it in full effect.

> There are a few must-have personal details every Lebenslauf should include which you might not have on your original CV: a photo, your marital status and place of birth.

This is the same in Sweden fwiw. I was agast when CVs started passing my desk with seemly random self-portraits on them.

Why the hell do I care what you look like?

True (about caring about looks); but now most people on linked in happily provide a photo of themselves, though admittedly I know many haven’t changed (updated) their photos since they uploaded a photogenic photo they’ve always used.

Well, at least in Sweden my photo-less CV hasn’t caused any problems. My lack of a LinkedIn account has attracted a couple of comments though.
