Answer 5

Aufenthaltserlaubnis (residency permit) is for you the most important document you have while you are in Germany.

Aufenthaltstitel means any kind of document allowing you to stay legally in Germany, this can be a visa, a "Duldung" (leave to stay although you are legally required to return to your homecountry), a "Niederlassungserlaubnis" (permission to settle permanently in Germany, one step below actually becoming a citizen) or an Aufenthaltserlaubnis.
