This article shows the development of the population of Kiel in a table and graph.
Population development
In the Middle Ages and the early modern period in Kiel only a few thousand people lived. 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 1803 only 7,075 people lived in the city, in 1885 there were already 52,000.
In 1900, the city's population exceeded 100,000, making it a major city . By 1910 that number had doubled to 212,000. The increase is partly due to incorporations, but mainly to the settlement of the navy and the boom in the shipyard industry. After the First World War , fewer workers were needed in the shipyards and the number of naval personnel declined. Through further incorporations from 1922 to 1924, the population increased slightly.
Soon after the National Socialists came to power in 1933, capacities in the shipyard industry were greatly expanded and many new military, industrial and civilian buildings were built. During the Second World War , the city's economy was completely geared towards armaments and the population reached its historic high of 306,000 in December 1942, partly due to the many forced and " eastern workers " employed in industry and the shipyards . During the war, more than 150,000 people from Kiel were evacuated and children were sent to less endangered areas as part of the children's area. Due to its great military importance as a naval base , the end point of the Kiel Canal and the location of three large shipyards, the city was the target of 90 air strikes in which almost 3,000 people were killed.
From the end of July 1944, the evacuation of around 2.5 million people from the Baltic States and Memelland , East / West Prussia as well as Pomerania and Mecklenburg also brought refugees and displaced persons to Kiel. The population, on January 1, 1945 it was 143,000, rose again to 199,579 in December 1945. The integration of these people presented the city with additional challenges. Kiel was rebuilt in the post-war years. The city soon developed into the economic, political and intellectual center of Schleswig-Holstein again . The population rose to 273,000 by 1961. On December 31, 2007, the “ official population ” for Kiel was 236,902 according to the statistical office for Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein (only main residences and after comparison with the other state offices).
The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1830 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 location of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.

Population forecast
In its “Guide to Demographic Change 2020”, published in 2006 , in which the Bertelsmann Foundation provides data on the development of the population of 2,959 municipalities in Germany, a population decline of 1.9 percent (4,390 people) between 2003 and 2020 was predicted for Kiel . Accordingly, on December 31, 2020, Kiel would have an absolute population of 228,649 inhabitants according to main residence.
In the meantime, the Bertelsmann Foundation predicts in its portal "Wegweiser Kommune", a further development of the "Wegweiser Demographischer Wandel", contrary to the figures published in 2006 for Kiel an increase in population from 2006 to 2025 and then a slight decrease in the population by 2030:
Forecast of the absolute population development 2006–2030
|
The current population figure (December 31, 2010: 239,526) shows that the forecast made in 2010 is exceeded by the reality of 2011 people.
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 Kiel, a population decline of 3.14% is predicted from 2015 to 2030 despite the influx of refugees.
