Population structure in the Middle Ages

Little is known about the population development of Frankfurt during the High Middle Ages , until the 13th century Frankfurt was mentioned almost only in imperial historiography or in royal documents. In 1219 the civil parish ( honesti homines, cives de Frankenvort ) appears for the first time as a contractual partner in a document sealed with the town seal. The seal already bears the inscription Francenvort specialis domus imperii - Frankfurt, special seat of the empire.

The interest book of the Bartholomäusstift , created in 1267, lists more than 60 professions, including bathers, bloodleaders, barbers, wagoners, boatmen, sackclothes, gold, iron, knife and pan smiths, builders, stonemasons, carpenters, sign makers (painters), wool and Leash weavers, dyers, tanners, furriers, tailors, new and patchwork cobblers, bakers, butchers, fishermen, millers, wine growers, wine growers, fassbenders and brewers as well as a physicus (doctor) and organist each.

In his studies of the population of Frankfurt in the 14th and 15th centuries , Karl Bücher calculated a high of around 10,000 inhabitants in 1387. Of these, 3,405 were subject . By 1440 the population sank to under 9,000, in 1499 it reached its lowest point of around 7,600, including 2,583 taxpayers. During the 15th century, more than 5,000 new citizens, mostly from today's Rhine-Main area , immigrated to the city. This indicates that the urban population had an extremely unfavorable demographic structure: the average age was comparatively high, there were significantly more women than men, and people living in unsanitary conditions were repeatedly hit by epidemics . The economic and social structure of the citizenship was determined by handicrafts and agriculture, with most citizens tilling a field or garden as a sideline and keeping cattle, sometimes in the middle of the city. About 18% of the residents were not permanently resident in the city, but belonged to the servants or were traveling journeyman . About a tenth of the inhabitants were civil servants of the city or the clergy, about 5 to 6% were in trade or inn, only a few citizens were freelancers or rentiers. The craft professions became more and more differentiated during the late Middle Ages, so that, according to books, there were 338 professions in the city, including 45 blacksmithing professions alone . About 240 to 300 inhabitants belonged to the clergy, which did not contribute to the city's assets because of its tax privileges. About half of the taxpayers had no assets beyond the tax-free allowance at the time - a third of the apartment, a horse, a cow, household items, clothes, two silver cups per family and an annual supply of bread grain, wine, firewood, fodder and straw. Only 13% had assets of more than 400 guilders , of which 1.7% had more than 10,000 guilders.

In the late Middle Ages, Frankfurt was one of the medium-sized German cities, roughly comparable to Basel , Goslar , Mainz , Soest or Ulm , but significantly smaller than large cities such as Augsburg , Braunschweig , Cologne , Metz , Nuremberg , Strasbourg or the large Hanseatic cities of Bremen , Hamburg , Lübeck , Lüneburg or Rostock .

Modern times

Around 1520 Frankfurt am Main had around 10,000 inhabitants again. There is an influx of people from Central Europe and other European countries, particularly due to the trade in the area around the trade fairs . By 1605 the number doubled to 20,000 and again to 40,000 by 1810.

With the onset of industrialization in the 19th century , population growth accelerated. While around 54,000 people lived in the city in 1837, the number of inhabitants in Frankfurt am Main exceeded 100,000 as early as 1875. In 1895 the city had 230,000 inhabitants, by 1925 this number had doubled to 467,000. The incorporation of the city of Höchst am Main (31,439 inhabitants 1925) and other municipalities on April 1, 1928 brought an increase in population of 75,866. The city's population rose from 475,000 to 551,200.

Of the more than 30,000 Jews in Frankfurt before 1933 (the second largest Jewish community in Germany), around 12,000 had been murdered by 1945, almost all of the others had been deported, expelled or fled. Jewish life in the city was completely destroyed. After the liberation from National Socialism by the Allies , there were around 100 Jews remaining in Frankfurt. The effects of the Second World War are clearly visible . Large parts of the city center were destroyed by numerous air strikes . On March 22, 1944, a British attack destroyed the entire Gothic old town of Frankfurt , and 1,001 people lost their lives. Altogether more than 4,800 civilians and 12,700 Frankfurt soldiers died during the war as a result of fighting, half of the residential buildings (90,000) were destroyed. The city lost 35% of its residents (195,727 people) through evacuation, flight, deportations and air strikes. The population fell from 554,000 in 1939 to 358,000 in December 1945. In 1951, the pre-war level was reached again.

In 1963 the population peaked at 691,257 and then fell to 592,411 in 1986, mainly due to migration to the surrounding area . It then rose again and, after German reunification, was between 640,000 and 650,000 inhabitants until around 2005. The sharp rise since then to currently 763,380 as of December 31, 2019 is a result of the economic dynamism of the city, the designation of new settlement and residential areas - including on former military grounds of the American armed forces - and the change in the age structure due to the influx of young families.

The following table shows the population figures from Frankfurt am Main to the respective territorial status. Up to 1810 these are mostly estimates, then census results (¹) or official updates by the city administration (until 1970) and the State Statistical Office (from 1971). From 1837 the information relates to the “customs clearance population”, from 1871 to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the place of the main residence”. Before 1837 the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey methods.

The results of the consumer group statistics , which were obtained from the food allocation data and published by the Federal Statistical Office in 1953, provide a more realistic assessment of the population development in World War II . According to the small consumer group statistics, the civilian population served in Frankfurt comprised 487,698 people at the beginning of February 1943 (including 13,978 group caterers), at the beginning of February 1944 449,055 (including 30,772 group caterers), in mid-August 1944 only 294,504 (including 26,215 group caterers) and in October / November 1944 297,289 people (including 32,734 caterers).

Note: On May 9, 2011, the cut-off date of the 2011 census , the official population was around 19,000 (2.7%) below the number of inhabitants determined by the city on April 30, 2011 based on the previous update of the population register . According to this update, which also took into account people with secondary residence and is no longer comparable with the census results, the population on December 31, 2011 was 698,035. The previous high of 1963 was thus exceeded. As of June 30, 2012, Frankfurt had over 700,000 inhabitants for the first time in history, and on February 18, 2019 for the first time over 750,000.

Population forecast

Population development in Frankfurt from 1990 to 2018 compared to the four forecasts shown below.
green: two coordinated population
projections magenta: forecasts by the city administration
red: forecast by Postbank
orange: forecast by the Bertelsmann Foundation

In the graphic opposite, the following forecasts are summarized as an overview.

Coordinated population projection

Based on 2010 data
2010 2015 2020 2030
666.920 679.185 689.767 695.738

717.624 787.615 815.485 841.228

As part of the 12th coordinated population projection of the Federal Statistical Office , the State Statistical Office published regionalized forecast data for all Hessian districts and urban districts in August 2010 . The forecast was updated in 2016 based on the population as of December 31, 2014. It predicts the following population development for Frankfurt as of December 31 of each year:

With 17.2% in the period under review, Frankfurt am Main has the greatest expected growth of all Hessian municipalities, of which 5.5 percentage points are accounted for by the birth surplus and 11.7 by the net migration. The average age of the Frankfurt population is expected to rise to 42.1 years by 2030, which is the lowest value after Darmstadt and Offenbach.

City administration forecasts

2020 2030 2040
764.091 810.084 829.773

The Frankfurt population projection published in December 2010 by the Citizens' Office Statistics and Elections was based on data from December 31, 2009. According to this, the Frankfurt population should rise to around 725,000 by 2020 and then decrease slightly to around 723,000 by 2030.

According to the regionalized population projection up to 2040 published in June 2015, the number of inhabitants will rise much faster in the next few decades than according to previous forecasts. The reason is the strong population growth since around 2005, which will continue unabated in the next few years, in connection with the development of residential construction. It is expected that new apartments will be built for around 70,000 residents by 2030. Due to the large influx of relatively young people, the average age will only rise slightly from 41.09 to 41.86 by 2040.

For the first time, the population forecast up to 2040 also includes data for the individual city districts. The strongest absolute population growth is expected in Bornheim (+ 7,800) and Bockenheim (+6,900), the highest growth rates in Sindlingen (50%), Preungesheim (31%), Frankfurter Berg, Bonames and Bornheim (26 to 28% each). No population decline is expected in any part of the city; the lowest growth rate of 7% is for Sachsenhausen-Nord.

Postbank forecast

2015 2020 2025 2030 2035
708,600 713,800 705.100 686,400 664,500

In March 2016, Deutsche Postbank AG published a study conducted by Michael Bräuninger, professor at Helmut Schmidt University , entitled Housing Atlas 2016 - Living in the City , in which a population forecast for 36 major German cities for the year 2030 is carried out. It also explicitly takes into account the immigration in the context of the refugee crisis in Germany from 2015 . For Frankfurt am Main, it predicted a population decline of 2.05% from 2015 to 2030 despite the influx of refugees. The study was not based on the current population development and the forecasts of the city or the Hessian State Statistical Office, but on the regional planning forecast 2035 published in 2015 by the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research . Its main purpose was to predict the development of real estate prices in major German cities and took into account the forecast period from 2012 to 2035. For Frankfurt am Main, it assumed a population development for the period from 2015 to 2035 that was completely different from the actual development.

Bertelsmann Foundation forecast

2012 2020 2025 2030
687.560 752,550 773.630 784.920

In their 2015 published “Guide to Demographic Change 2030”, in which the Bertelsmann Foundation provides data on the development of the population of 2,959 municipalities in Germany, an increase in the population of 14.2% (97,360 people) between 2012 and 2030 is predicted for Frankfurt .

Population structure

Since the 2005 microcensus there have been statistical evaluations of the places of birth of the Frankfurt population. At that time 35% of Frankfurt citizens were born in Frankfurt, the rest moved here. 88.2% of the 221,000 native Frankfurters were Germans, 11% of them with evidence of a migration background ; 11.8% were foreign nationals. On December 31, 2008, a total of 242,650 of 641,153 residents registered as having their main residence in Frankfurt had a migration background, which corresponds to a population share of 37.9%. According to the 2011 census , 44.2% of Frankfurt's residents have a migration background, which is the highest figure among German cities with more than 300,000 residents; among the other large cities, this value is only higher in Pforzheim and Offenbach . In 2016, the proportion of residents with a migration background reached 50%, and in 2015 it was 68% for children under six.

age structure

The following overview shows the age structure of Frankfurt residents as of December 31, 2013:

Age from / to population Percentage
0-5 42,800 6.1
6-14 52,622 7.5
15-64 493,887 70.4
over 65 112.041 16.0
total 701.350 100.0

Until 2003 the average age of the Frankfurt population was always above the national average, since then it has been below. From 1995 to 2005, the average age in Frankfurt rose from 41.2 to 41.9 years, and since then it has fallen continuously to 40.6 years until 2017. Frankfurt has the lowest average age of all Hessian municipalities. According to a study by the Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft (IW) , the average age in Frankfurt is falling the fastest in Germany due to the continued influx of mainly young people . The average age in Hesse was 43.7 years in 2017, and 44.2 years nationwide.

According to the population structure, Frankfurt also has an above-average number of births. In 2017, 9,003 children were born alive, the highest level since 1967. Since the low of 1984 (4,995 births) the number of births has risen steadily. In 2017, the Frankfurt fertility rate was 55.2 live births per year for every 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 45.

Frankfurt am Main is one of the few Hessian municipalities that has had both a birth surplus and a positive net migration for years.
