Germany’s population decreased by 0.1% in 2025, falling to 83.5 million residents, according to the country’s statistical office. This represents a decline of 110,000 people overall. Despite a net immigration figure of 235,000 individuals, the population still contracted, indicating other demographic factors are at play. The data suggests birth rates and natural decrease are outweighing the positive impact of immigration. This marks a notable shift in Germany’s population trend. Further analysis is needed to understand the long-term implications of this demographic change. The statistical office did not elaborate on the reasons for the shortfall in population growth despite immigration.
