Population development of Nürnberg.svgPopulation development of Nuremberg - from 1871
Population development of Nuremberg. Above from 1397 to 2017. Below an excerpt from 1871

In 1812 the city had 26,000 inhabitants. Due to the industrial revolution , the population grew rapidly around 1820. With the high level of industrialization in Germany , Nuremberg became a major city in the course of 1881 . Due to the influx and the incorporation of numerous localities , the population increased between 1895 and 1900 by around 100,000 to 260,000 inhabitants. At the census on December 1, 1910, there were already 333,142 inhabitants.

Industrialization brought many new workers and, with it, residents to the city: Large Nuremberg companies such as MAN and Siemens-Schuckert were founded during the German Empire ; while most of the companies in the Nuremberg motorcycle industry were not added until the 1920s, the time of the Weimar Republic .

In the “Greater German Reich” , Nuremberg was in May 1939, with just under 423,000 inhabitants, in 16th place on the list of the largest German cities , including Vienna and Breslau . With the air raids on Nuremberg , the number of inhabitants fell, mainly due to evacuations such as the " extended Kinderlandverschickung ", in which school children and mothers with small children from cities threatened by the air war were housed in less endangered areas for longer periods. After the end of the Battle of Nuremberg in mid-April 1945, only 196,000 people lived in the city.

With the return of the forced evacuated persons and the influx of refugees and displaced persons from the German eastern regions , the population rose again rapidly and in 1956 as many people lived in Nuremberg as before the war. The incorporation of numerous places in the area on July 1, 1972 brought an increase from around 35,000 people to 514,976 inhabitants - an all-time high by 2017. By 1985 the population had fallen to 465,000, but has since increased again. At the end of 2017 it was 515,201. The new historical high forecast for 2020 was thus reached three years earlier.

The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1827 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 1834 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 1834, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey methods.

According to the 2011 census , the official population (as of the end of 2011) fell from 510,602 to 490,085.

Population forecast

There are different population forecasts - for example, the Office for Urban Research and Statistics for Nuremberg and Fürth regularly prepares such forecasts.

In 2009, the Bertelsmann Stiftung forecast “Who, where, how many? - Population in Germany 2025 ”published. This provides data on the development of the population for all municipalities in Germany with more than 5,000 inhabitants; a population increase of 5.2 percent (26,116 people) is predicted for Nuremberg between 2006 and 2025.
