I'm not a 100% sure, but I remember at some forum one Russian girl architect worked in German architectural office as intern for 3 years and than principle wrote recommendation which allowed her practicing architecture in Germany. No additional licensing exams required, only evaluated Russian arch. diploma.
I think you need a diploma from a European University, in most cases when you graduate you basically are licensed, in Germany you work two years then fill out some forms after then you are licensed....most likely you might have to take additional exams in German. Not sure...ask your boss perhaps?
you need to demonstrate that you have at least 2 years of experience in all design stages (equivalent for the 9 german design stages) under experienced architect guidance.
for european countries (EU members) there is an mutual recognition regarding architecture education, in your case I beleive you ll have to show curricula from your university to demonstrate that your architect education is complete
German Architect License
Hi,
I will work at an office in Berlin, Germany. I got M.Arch degree from an university which has the accreditation of NAAB.
In this case, if I will work at the office in Germany for at least 2 years, can I apply for German Architect License?
I checked some website already. ex. http://www.ak-berlin.de/publicity/ak/internet.nsf/tindex/de_ea_bedingung.htm
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find useful information because I can't read German.
Is there anyone who know about this issue?
Thank you.

This might be a matter of the individual federal state.
The bigger problem might be to do all "Leistungsphasen nach HOAI" (stages) as foreigner in germany...
You might get more help on this topic in a german architecture discussion board like http://www.tektorum.de.
