Population development in Hamm
This article shows the population development of Hamm in tabular form.
Population development
In the Middle Ages and early modern times , only a few hundred to a few thousand people lived in Hamm. The population grew very slowly and kept falling due to the numerous wars, epidemics and famine. Only with the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century did population growth accelerate. In 1819 the city only had 4,657 inhabitants, in 1900 there were already more than 30,000. In 1925 the population exceeded the limit of 50,000.
The effects of the Second World War are clearly visible . 60 percent of the city was destroyed by 55 Allied air strikes. The population fell from 59,035 in 1939 by 13.7 percent to 50,971 in December 1945. After the end of the war, the population of the city rose to more than 70,000 by 1961 due to the influx of numerous refugees and displaced persons from the eastern German regions .
The incorporation of the communities of Berge and Westtünnen and most of the community of Wiescherhöfen on January 1, 1968 brought an increase from around 12,000 people to 86,000 inhabitants. On January 1, 1975, the following places were incorporated (population as of December 31, 1973): City of Bockum-Hövel (26,109), municipality of Pelkum (25,402), city of Heessen (19,383), municipality of Uentrop (12,075) and municipality of Rhynern . Overall, the population increased by 89,866 people to 172,210 inhabitants. Hamm thus caught up with the big cities .
In 2003 the population reached its historic high of 184,961. On December 31, 2006, the “ official number of inhabitants ” for Hamm was 183,672 according to an update by the State Office for Data Processing and Statistics North Rhine-Westphalia (only main residences and after comparison with the other state offices ). Anticyclically, the population of Hamm increased by approx. 9,000 inhabitants or more than 6%, while in other large cities in the Ruhr area the population decreased by an average of well over 10% in the same period.
The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1798 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 1871, the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the location of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.
