Population in Germany: Where Do Most People Live?

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Population in Germany: Where Do Most People Live.

You roughly know where you live – but how many people actually live in your federal state compared to the other 15? Germany is the largest country in the European Union by population and gross domestic product, but within the republic the population is distributed very unevenly. Handelsblatt has compiled all 16 federal states in an overview.

How many people live in the 16 federal states?

The Handelsblatt overview shows the distribution of the population across all federal states – from the most populous area states to the three city-states Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen, to the more sparsely populated regions in eastern and northern Germany.

What makes the comparison interesting

Within Germany, there is a clear gap between the federal states. While the largest states are home to many millions of people, the smallest only manage a fraction of that. The Handelsblatt overview makes these differences visible at a glance – and helps you place your own federal state in the ranking.

Where to find the exact figures

The complete population figures per federal state as well as changes compared to previous years are provided by Handelsblatt in its article. Anyone who wants to know where their own federal state stands in the ranking – and where Germany as a whole ranks in the EU – will find it there.
