Population

Frankfurt/Main: aereal view, Germany; copyright Frankfurt/Main press and information centre
More than 82 million people live in Germany, with a very uneven distribution of the population. Around one third of all inhabitants (25 million) live in 82 big cities. Around 50.5 million live in smaller towns with populations between 2,000 and 100,000. Some 6.4 million people live in villages of less than 2,000 inhabitants.
With a population density of around 600 people per square mile, Germany is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. There are distinct differences between the former West Germany and the former German Democratic Republic. In the former eastern part, including East Berlin, the population density is only half as high as in the former West-German areas. More than seven million foreigners live and work in Germany. Turks make up the largest proportion, followed by Serbs, Italians, Greeks, Bosnians, Poles and Croats.
