The agglomeration of Berlin (also: the agglomeration of Berlin ) consists of the city of Berlin and its immediate surroundings . The states of Berlin and Brandenburg also see it as an official planning region. Characteristic of this agglomeration is a strongly disparate settlement structure. In the sparsely populated area, the population is mainly concentrated on the lines of the S-Bahn network and other rail routes.
With almost 4.7 million inhabitants, it is the largest German agglomeration after the Ruhr area ; around 79% of its residents live in the city of Berlin. The part of the agglomeration outside the urban area of Berlin is often referred to as the Berlin area or, colloquially, the Berlin bacon belt .
history
Since the State Development Plan 2007 came into force on February 1, 2008 and the State Development Plan Berlin-Brandenburg (LEP B-BB) on May 15, 2009, the term city-surrounding area Berlin-Potsdam has been used for the area consisting of Berlin, Potsdam and the surrounding communities.
structure
The region is characterized by strong spatial disparities . In its function as the federal capital and metropolitan center of the region, Berlin is surrounded by a suburban metropolitan area with a partly rural character. The Brandenburg state capital Potsdam is the only major city in the Berlin area. More than 82 percent of the total population of the agglomeration live in Berlin and Potsdam. In the periphery it is mainly suburban settlements, small and medium-sized towns that shape the settlement structure.
Demarcation
The area referred to as the Berlin-Potsdam city-surrounding area consists of the city of Berlin and 50 other cities and municipalities in the surrounding area , which are defined in the Berlin-Brandenburg state development plan of March 31, 2009. The city-surrounding area has a population of 4.67 million inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019) on an area of 3,743.21 km². The population density is 1,237 inhabitants per square kilometer. The area has a radius of around 35 kilometers and shows a growing population. Outside the city of Berlin, around 997,000 people live there in an area of 2,851.46 km². In detail, the following cities and municipalities belong to the city-surrounding area (data from December 31, 2019):

The remainder of the state of Brandenburg is known as the “wider metropolitan area”, but with an area of 26,627.15 km² and only 1.53 million inhabitants, it is much more rural and is partly characterized by migration losses. With 57 inhabitants per square kilometer, the wider metropolitan area is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Germany.
Population development
|
The population growth of the agglomeration was approx. 0.6% in 2019.
Further room delimitations
Greater Berlin
The former city of Berlin was united by law in 1920 with various neighboring cities, rural communities and manor districts to form the unified community of Greater Berlin , which is today's city of Berlin. As a result of smaller area swaps, the urban area has changed only slightly since then , regardless of the division into East and West Berlin during the time of German division .
"Berliner Ring"
Around 4.1 million people live within the Berlin motorway ring on an area of around 2,150 km² (population density: approx. 1,900 inhabitants per km²).
Metropolitan area
The BIK Aschpurwis + Behrens GmbH understands in its spatial classification system (BIK regions) on the basis of the data of employees subject to social insurance under the metropolitan area Berlin the following area: Berlin with the above. Surrounding communities, but without Strausberg, Mittenwalde, Nuthetal, Michendorf, Schwielowsee, Potsdam and Werder (Havel), but including Höhenland . 4.09 million people live there on an area of 3,333 km². Including the Potsdam city region (Potsdam, Werder, Schwielowsee, Michendorf, Nuthetal, Beelitz and Seddiner See) the area is 3,946 km², the population is 4.32 million.
Tighter interdependence
Until 2007, the metropolitan region of Berlin was understood to mean the “narrower interwoven area”, consisting of Berlin, its immediate surroundings and the neighboring communities of Ketzin / Havel , Nauen , Kremmen , Fürstenwalde / Spree , Rauen , Spreenhagen , Heidesee , Bestensee , Zossen , Trebbin , Seddiner See , Beelitz and Groß Kreutz (Havel) . It is an area of 64 municipalities (including Berlin), in which a total of 4.47 million inhabitants live on an area of 5,320 km². With the entry into force of the State Development Plan 2007 on February 1, 2008 and the State Development Plan Berlin-Brandenburg (LEP B-BB) on May 15, 2009, the “narrower interwoven area” no longer plays a role in the official planning, neither in terms of its terminology nor in its extent and was replaced by the more narrowly defined "city-surrounding area Berlin-Potsdam".
Metropolitan area
The Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR) divides metropolitan regions into the four categories of center, area supplementary to the center, narrower commuter area and wider commuter area. The division takes place on the basis of community associations ( called offices in Brandenburg ) depending on the number of commuters. In the case of Berlin, the supplementary area includes Panketal, Eichwalde, Schönefeld, Schulzendorf, Wildau, Zeuthen, Falkensee, Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf, Hoppegarten, Neuenhagen near Berlin, Petershagen / Eggersdorf, Glienicke / Nordbahn, Hennigsdorf, Erkner, Schöneiche near Berlin, Woltersdorf, Kleinmachnow, Teltow and Großbeeren (a total of 1,325 km² area and 3.71 million inhabitants).
The closer commuting area of Berlin (including Potsdam) essentially corresponds to the limits of the above. closer interlinked area, only without the non-official cities / communities Fürstenwalde (Spree), Zossen and Groß Kreutz (Havel) (area: 4,971 km², population: 4.42 million). The latter three municipalities as well as the offices of Biesenthal-Barnim , Schenkenländchen , Friesack , Märkische Schweiz , Gransee and municipalities , Scharmützelsee , Brück , Niemegk and the unofficial cities / municipalities Müncheberg , Liebenwalde , Löwenberger Land , Zehdenick , Storkow (Mark) , Bad Belzig , Treuenbrietzen , Am Mellensee , Baruth / Mark , Jüterbog , Luckenwalde and Nuthe-Urstromtal are also part of the commuter area (area: 9,452 km², population: 4.65 million).
Larger urban region
The " Larger Urban Zone " ( English : Larger Urban Zone - definition according to Eurostat ) includes the city of Berlin, the neighboring districts of Barnim , Dahme-Spreewald , Havelland , Märkisch-Oderland , Oberhavel , Oder-Spree , Potsdam-Mittelmark and Teltow-Fläming as well as the independent city of Potsdam . Since Eurostat delimits the region based on the number of commuters (over 10%) at the district level, municipalities in the districts that are far from the capital are also included in the area, while the closer independent cities of Brandenburg an der Havel and Frankfurt (Oder) represent two enclaves in the area of the region . The area covers an area of 17,385 km² and has a population of 5.0 million.
Agglomeration area
In contrast to the urban region according to Eurostat, the two cities Brandenburg (Havel) and Frankfurt (Oder) are included as western and eastern borders in the agglomeration of Berlin according to the classification of the BBSR. Accordingly, the area is 17,762 km² and the population is 5.13 million.
Metropolitan area
The metropolitan region Berlin / Brandenburg , also known as the capital region Berlin-Brandenburg, comprises the federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg and has an area of 30,370.36 km² and a population of 6,004,857 (as of December 31, 2015). With 198 inhabitants per square kilometer, the population density is below the national average.
