Population Story

The German Office of Statistics....came out this week and announced the actual population of Germany.  Basically, over the past year, it's risen and sits at 83.2-million.  N-24 talked about this on a update in the week. 

The Corona deaths?  Didn't really matter.

Migration part of this story?  Yes, without any doubt.  Most would agree that things did slow down after the 2013 to 2016 mass migration situation.  But on the other front....with legal migration folks applying in numbers....it helped to bulk up the country.

You have to remember that various nationalities now make up Germany.  An example here....438k Greeks are now part of Germany.  Around 180k Chinese make up part of Germany.  Even around 40k Australians and New Zealanders help to make up Germany. 

Pure Germans?  The number floats around 75-percent (roughly 62-million).  They've even got a term used on occasion....repatriates, which usually means your relatives....even generations ago, left Germany, and you've brought your family back to the 'homeland'.
