German mixed-race couple

BERLIN, July 17 (RIA Novosti) - Black and white twins have been born to a mixed-race couple in Germany, the Die Welt newspaper reported on Thursday. (VIDEO)

Their mother, Florence Addo-Gerth, 35, from Ghana, has dark skin, and the father, Stephan Gerth, 40, from Potsdam in Germany, is white.

Ryan, who came first, weighing 2.650 kgs, has light colored skin, blue eyes, and dark hair. His brother Leo, weighing 2.606 kgs, looks like his mother, with dark skin and dark eyes. Ryan has been described by his mother as 'noisy,' while Leo is a lot calmer.

"None of us could believe it," said the Lichtenberg maternity ward's head doctor, Birgit Weber, adding that "both kids have definitely the same father."
