Population development

Population development in Regensburg from 1818 to 2017 according to the tables on the right

With the onset of industrialization in the 19th century, the population grew rapidly. In 1818 only around 19,000 people lived in the city, by 1910 there were already 52,624. Due to numerous incorporations in 1924 and 1938, the number of inhabitants rose to 96,000 by 1939 and exceeded the limit of 100,000 in 1940, making the city a major city .

On December 31, 2006, the “ official number of inhabitants ” according to updates by the Bavarian State Office for Statistics and Data Processing was 131,342 (only main residences and after comparison with the other state offices). The total population from main and secondary residences (population entitled to reside) was 143,399 on December 31, 2006, according to the city administration.

The relatively large difference between these numbers is largely due to the approximately 32,000 students at the University of Regensburg and the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg , most of whom are registered with their study address as secondary residence and therefore do not appear in the official statistics.

The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status . These are census results (¹) or official updates from 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.
