Population development of Oderwitz
Reliable sources for the exact determination of the population of Oderwitz have only been available since the end of the 18th century, before only the farms in the village were counted and not the actual inhabitants. In 1553 there were 53 farms owned by mansions and four by gardeners , which suggests that there are around 300 residents in all of Oderwitz.
In 1910 Mitteloderwitz was incorporated into Niederoderwitz. After the Second World War , many Germans who had been expelled from Silesia settled in Oderwitz . Around 1950 the population reached its historical high of around 9500. Due to the proximity to the border, the poor infrastructure and the poor economic situation, the place already lost many inhabitants during the GDR era . This development continued even after the reunification . Oderwitz lost around half of its population in the last 60 years. This strong downward trend is expected to continue until 2020. In 1999 Oberoderwitz and Niederoderwitz were merged to form the Oderwitz community.
As in other places in the former GDR, the aging effect is very pronounced in Oderwitz, as many young people are migrating to the west due to the economic situation.
The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1834 it concerns estimates, then census results or official updates of the city administration (until 1944), the state central administration for statistics (1945 to 1989) and the state statistical office (from 1990). From 1871, the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1966 to the “population at the place of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.
