Population development

 

Population development of Hamburg. Above from 950 to 2017. Below an excerpt from 1871

In 1787 the population of Hamburg exceeded the limit of 100,000. During the French period in Hamburg , the occupation by the French army between 1806 and 1814, the population fell by half. At the beginning of the winter of 1813/14, all residents who could not look after themselves for at least six months, including above all the poor, the elderly and the weak, were driven from the city. When the Russian troops marched in on May 30, 1814, 55,000 people were still living in Hamburg.

With the beginning of industrialization in the middle of the 19th century, population growth accelerated. In 1852 around 160,000 people lived in the city, by 1900 there were already over 700,000. By 1905 Hamburg had completely merged with the neighboring Prussian cities of Altona -Ottensen in the west and Wandsbek in the east. At that time, these three cities had a combined population of over a million, but it was not until 1938 that they were united with Hamburg to form a municipality.

In 1912 the city of Hamburg exceeded the limit of one million inhabitants. In the census of December 5, 1917, a total local population of 846,055 people was determined. According to the economics department of the War Food Office, these included 32,568 military personnel and 1,579 prisoners of war. Between 1913 and 1917 the population fell by 18 percent. As early as December 1919, the city again had more than a million inhabitants.

With the Greater Hamburg Law of 1937, a total of 48 municipalities and two municipal parts with a total of 546,396 inhabitants (1933) and an area of ​​61,096.02 hectares were merged with Hamburg to form one municipality. The following communities with more than 10,000 inhabitants became part of the city of Hamburg on April 1, 1938 (the population of the census of June 16, 1933 in brackets): Altona (241,970), Harburg-Wilhelmsburg (112,593), Wandsbek (46,255), Bergedorf ( 19,564), Lokstädt (17,868), Rahlstedt (14,349) and Billstedt (12,852).

Shortly before the Second World War , in May 1939, Hamburg already had 1.712 million inhabitants. A series of heavy bombings by British aircraft in July / August 1943 ( Operation Gomorrah ) killed around 35,000 residents and destroyed around a third of all residential buildings. Around 125,000 Hamburgers were injured and 900,000 homeless. After several evacuations, the population sank below the million mark by 1944, but was higher again when the British troops marched in on May 3, 1945. In 1953 the city had as many inhabitants as before the war.

Hamburg reached its highest population to date of 1,857,431 in 1964. At the height of the baby boom in the mid-1960s, the total birth rate in Hamburg was around 1.9 (Germany: 2.5). The high average age, which resulted from low fertility rates in the past, and the birth rate slump in the 1970s resulted in an enormous birth deficit. The number of children per woman fell to 1.2 in the early 1970s and has remained at this level since then. The birth deficit was up to 6 per 1000 inhabitants in the 1970s. In addition, about 3 net per 1000 inhabitants emigrated every year, the population of Hamburg thus fell by 0.9% per year. Mainly the birth deficit , less the suburbanization , then led to a population decline by 1986 to 1,571,267 inhabitants. After 1986 the balance of migration became positive again and the birth deficit decreased continuously due to effects in the age structure. The number of children per woman was 1.25 in 2008. End of 2010, the city was with 1,786,448 inhabitants under the German cities behind Berlin (about 3.4 million) second place in the cities in Germany , followed by Munich with 1.3 million inhabitants. Between 1986 and 2010 the population of Hamburg increased by 13.7 percent (215,181 people).

The following is an overview with the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Until 1826 it is mostly an estimate, then census results (¹) or official updates from the State Statistical Office. From 1871, the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the place of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.

The results of the consumer group statistics , which were obtained from the data on the food allocation and published by the Federal Statistical Office in 1953, provide an assessment of the population development in World War II . According to the small consumer group statistics, the civilian population served in Hamburg at the beginning of February 1943 comprised 1,494,043 people (including 52,067 communal caterers), at the beginning of the allocation period beginning on August 23, 1943, only 921,400 (including 75,846 communal caterers), at the beginning of February 1944 again 1,114,306 ( including 115,818 communal caterers), mid-August 1,088,926 (including 106,556 communal caterers) and mid-December 1944 still 1,077,034 people (including 118,306 communal caterers).

From 1987 to 2011

Comparison of the population figures after updating the census (blue) and the population register (red) from 1987 to 2017. The sharp drop in the value of the blue graph on May 9, 2011 corresponds to the correction due to the census

Official population update ("the officially established population figure"), the second value is the registration information as of December 31st. The former is based on the census results from 1987 and only takes into account births / deaths and immigration / emigration of residents (net migration) in the update. At the beginning of 2009, the population registers had to be adjusted by 16,208 entries after comparing them with the tax identification numbers; all entries before December 31, 2008 should therefore be viewed as slightly inflated.

In fact, the number of inhabitants only increased by 113,926 in these 24 years (7.2% or 0.3% p. A.). The “official population update” led to a significantly excessive population of 196,759. The deviation corresponds to the size of a "medium-sized town" like Tübingen or Flensburg.

From 1987 to 2011, an average of 80,000 people moved to Hamburg and 75,000 from Hamburg each year. If only 5% of the necessary deregistrations are "forgotten", around 4,000 imaginary citizens of the city are generated every year. Over a long period between two censuses, an imaginary population of 80,000 citizens can accumulate.

Bertelsmann Stiftung forecasts

In their 2009 publication “Who, where, how many? - Population in Germany 2025 ”, in which the Bertelsmann Foundation provides data on the development of the population for all municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants in Germany, an increase in the population of 3.9 percent (68,443 people) is predicted for Hamburg between 2006 and 2025. However, it must be taken into account that the number of inhabitants of Hamburg according to 2011 census with approx. 1,707,000 inhabitants compared to the forecast figure for 2015 with approx. 1,837,000 is about 130,000 or almost 8% lower.

Absolute population development 2012–2030 - forecast for Hamburg (main residences):

In 2011 there was a revision of this forecast, which predicts stronger population growth overall. In 2015 there was a new forecast based on post-census 2011 data.

Forecasts by the State Statistical Office for 2004 and 2008

The population forecast of the Hamburg Basic Data Committee from 2004, based on the 10th coordinated population projection (10th KBV) of the federal and state governments, in the middle variant for Hamburg, predicts a population of 1.814 million in 2020. That would be an increase of 4.9 Percent (around 85,000 people) based on 2002. This is also the planning basis for the Hamburg administration. The Senate's goal of achieving a “growing city” would therefore be achieved. The subsequent extrapolation in 2008 (12th KBV) even increased this target number to 1.842 million inhabitants in 2020, but this target figure was reduced again to 1.785 million inhabitants in 2009.

Forecast by the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR) 2012

The Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR) published its regional planning forecast for 2030 based on demographic data since 1990 at the end of 2012. When comparing official population censuses in 1987 and 2011 with other forecasting methods mentioned above, the BBSR forecast was + 7 ± 3% for the period 1990–2010 is most appropriate.

According to this calculation method, the population of Hamburg should change by 0 ± 3% compared to 2010 by 2030, whereas that of the neighboring districts will increase by 6 ± 3%.

The Hanseatic City of Hamburg brought a lawsuit against the calculation at the Federal Constitutional Court

The Hanseatic City of Hamburg and the City of Berlin are suing the calculation basis of the 2011 census and its extrapolation (as of Oct. 2017). The background to this is that the cities miss out on compensatory payments after the state financial equalization if values ​​are set too low (see also Art. 107 GG and Census Act 2011 ).
