Population at its peak since 1978's levels
Lübeck, a city in northern Germany, has seen some notable changes in its population dynamics over the past year. According to the latest data, the city now has a total of 223,156 inhabitants, marking the highest population since 1978.
One of the most striking developments is the growth in immigration. A total of 7,717 Germans moved to Lübeck in the past year, contributing significantly to the city's population increase. This trend is particularly noticeable among young adults aged 18 to 29, with an increase of 1,016 persons in this age group.
However, the birth rate in Lübeck stands at 1.1 children per woman, a figure that mirrors the national average. Despite a slight decline in the overall birth rate in Germany in 2024, with a slowing rate of decrease compared to previous years, it remains to be seen whether Lübeck will experience similar challenges. Nationwide, the birth rate was 1.35 children per woman in 2024, a 2% decline from 2023.
The city's demographic landscape is also shifting. The number of foreign nationals in Lübeck increased by 705, now comprising 14.6% of the total population. However, detailed data specific to Lübeck's immigration, birth rate, and demographic shifts among age groups are not directly available from the provided search results.
Interestingly, certain areas within Lübeck have experienced population growth, such as Travemünde and the city center, while Holstentor-Nord saw a decrease. Another notable statistic is the record high of 9,220 people over the age of 85.
