In the 1970s, when many "guest workers" form Yugoslavia came to Germany and most of them stayed in Germany, it is estimated that up to 10% of them were from a Roma background. While on average being less succesful than other immigrant groups regarding work and education, a lot of these Roma were quite happy to been seen as ordinary foreigners just like their Yugoslavian co-nationals and to integrate into the German society via work and school. And nowadays many of them are careful to be seen as Germans of Yugoslavian descent and not as Roma.
Even among the recent arrivals from Romania, Bulgaria, Kosovo, etc. there are many who try to make a living by working hard, e.g. in construction (often illegally, sadly).
