Population development
In the Middle Ages and the early modern period , only a few hundred people lived in the area of today's Oberhausen. The population grew very slowly and kept falling due to the numerous wars, epidemics and famine. On February 1, 1862, the Oberhausen mayor's office was formed from parts from six other communities. The original cell and the largest part of the area (two thirds) was provided by the Borbeck community with the districts of Lippern and Lirich. There were also parts of Alstaden, Dümpten, Styrum and the mayor's office in Mülheim-Land, as well as smaller parts of Meiderich and Buschhausen. Twelve years later, on September 10, 1874, the municipality of Oberhausen received city rights through the introduction of the town code .
With the beginning of industrialization in the middle of the 19th century, population growth accelerated. In 1862 5590 people lived in the community. In the census of December 1, 1871, 1113 houses and 12,805 inhabitants (3176 of whom were local; 7497 male and 5308 female) were determined. In 1885 there were 1,575 houses and 20,371 inhabitants (10,968 male and 9,403 female). With the incorporation of parts of Borbeck, Dellwig and Frintrop on April 1, 1915, the population of the city of Oberhausen exceeded the limit of 100,000, making it a major city . The incorporation of Sterkrade (50,661 inhabitants in 1925) and Osterfeld (32,655 inhabitants in 1925) brought an increase of more than 80,000 people to 194,000 inhabitants on August 1, 1929 .
The effects of the Second World War are clearly visible . Large parts of the city were destroyed by the Allied air raids. The population sank from 192,000 in May 1939 to 100,000 in April 1945. After the end of the war, the population of the city rose to its historical high of 260,570 by 1963 due to the return of the forced evacuees and the influx of numerous refugees and displaced persons from eastern Germany. In 2006, the city with 218,181 inhabitants was 34th among the major German cities and 15th within North Rhine-Westphalia. That is a decrease of 16.3 percent (42,389 people) since 1963.
The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1870 it is an estimate, 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.
