Every thing changes in germany except the east west divide on the german map

3% or even 5% is reasonable in any society. But what happened here in the last few years is just crazy.

40% of a town being non citizen is absolutely crazy….

It becomes more interesting if you look at the different age groups over a period of time. In the tool linked below, select “Kinder unter 16” (Children under 16) and move the slider.

Do naturalised citizens or dual citizens count as foreign? Is it foreign born? Or just non German nationals?

very convenient to replace “people with migration background” with “foreign population”. Not the same. [https://demografie-europa.eu/en/germany/](https://demografie-europa.eu/en/germany/)

If you add people who were born to foreigner parents but holds citizenship then the percentages will be doubled or tripled.

Replacement, germans will be a myth in the future.

How on earth do you integrate 20%+ of population of foreign background, never mind assimilate?
Low_Cut_368 on
And this statistic still excludes all those who have been naturalised, no matter how recently. Just imagine what it would look like if they included Germans of foreign descent

I once visited a place north of Berlin and my guide told me that all the social rent houses that were becoming available there were going to refugees. He also told me that when there were elections, it was blue everywhere with AFD posters, flags, etc.

It’s always those that do not even get in contact with foreigners, complaining the most and that’s not even limited to the east. I grew up in a small village of 300 people in rural Bavaria and the AFD is a “hit” because they only read Bild headlines but never even get in contact with any foreigners nor do “they steal their jobs” cuz no one would move there anyway. I give it 2 more gens and that town will cease to exist and it has nothing to do with those “evil foreigners” . It’s ridiculousÂ

I’m from one of the the very red areas on the western border. Most of the foreigners here are from the Netherlands lol.Â

The colour map goes up to 19%, while the highest percentage is 49%. I wouldn’t let this slide if my student made it…
stefan714 on
What happens when those numbers go over 50% or more? Will it still be Germany or something else?
Professional_Egg_858 on
When I lived in Western Germany, the locals told me the Eastern Germans were basically Nazi sympathizers and I should never go there.
I didn’t.
Still alive.

Düsseldorf area might even have more Muslims than Christians (practitioners).

I wonder how big of a percantage of those foreigners in the west of germany are just dutch people living there?
I live close to that border and have spoken with many people who live in places just across the border in germany

Southern Germany makes sense; the biggest immigrant population there is ex-Yugoslavia (Croats, Bosnians, Serbs, Macedonians) as well as Albanians.
German was a popular 2nd language option in Yugoslavia, especially in the north, and Southern Germany always leaned more Catholic than Protestant, so that also makes sense. Hell, I am from Zagreb (capital of Croatia), and our dialect is riddled with German loan words.
kausemos on
This would make you believe Germany is full of immigrants but the reality is it’s tons of people from Slovakia, czechia working in the southern part. Germany is the factory of Europe, tons of eu citizens work there without being German citizen.
That’s also why u have nobody in the east. East is like going from 2026 to 1990. Communists fucking destroyed that part and the mental damage on people is generational.

TIL Prague has a higher share of foreign population than Berlin

Now I know why I always feel like I notice a unsual huge amount of foreigners every day I go shopping. I live in a red zone.

Thats just sad

It’s kind of funny how places with very little foreign population vote for the right wing extremist AfD party.
SeparateCode2285 on
I would like to see federal tax generated vs. percentage foreign population data on this map. Also median age vs foreign population.

Is the Leader Stadt Offenbach or Landkreis Offenbach ? Because the arrow is pointing at Landkreis Offenbach but Offenbach am Main is the name of the city of Offenbach.

Inverse relation with popularity AfD

Uni towns?
polysnip on
No surprise we’d see a higher foreign presence in the big cities, but it seems Baden-Württemberg has an especially high foreigner count. Especially when compared to the rest of West Germany. Wonder why that is?
i think its funny how europeans and americans care so much about immigrants
Electronic-Track-133 on
Unfortunately for Germany, this was mostly self inflicted. It’s time to begin returning those who prefer countries with Sharia law and the oppression of women.
Erik_Kalkoken on
For context it is important to understand that more then 1/3 of these “foreigners” are just from other EU countries. Germany is part of EU’s single market and every EU citizen can live and work in other countries of the single market without any restrictions.
BenMic81 on
Fascinating thing is:
Offenbach (highest percentage of foreigners) has just been crowned safest town in Hessia. In all of Germany it is in fourth place and that’s doubly remarkable because it is also relatively poor.
The comments to this post backs up my belief that denazification has been a failure
Cheshire_____Cat on
How is “Foreign” defined here?
ThatBet168 on
This is not valid, all naturalized Germans became germans and there is no statistics for where they come from so when then is considered i believe offenbach is like 80% foreign
