... having sole citizenship of the Federal Republic of Germany ...
As opposed to dual or multiple citizenship/nationality
'Exclusive citizenship' would imply that no-one else held that nationality.

Likewise, having sole citizenship within the State of residence
does not always protect minorities, especially foreign-bom minori-
ties, from suspicion of being foreign subversives and traitors.

: I don't think the use of the definite article sounds natural in English, I may be wrong. I would go with the adverb and say exclusively.

I, Mr. xx, am a German national with no other allegiances.
The question is why "ausschließlich' is being used. It seems to me that the reason is to emphasize that his loyalty is to Germany only, without being distracted to allegiances to other countries. This term would probably not be used in an application for a regular 9 to 5 job.
But then, maybe I'm reading a little too much into it!

Oops, I missed the part about the "Ehevertrag", in which case I read too much into it.
