Explanations
Small political urban area
In 1436/37 four villages came to the imperial city of Schweinfurt. When in 1802 Schweinfurt came to Bavaria through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the city-state was dissolved and all four villages were spun off from the urban area. On December 1, 1919, one of them, Oberndorf, which had completely merged with the city, was incorporated again. Since then there have been no more incorporations into the urban area.
The population and population development of Schweinfurt cannot be compared with other cities, as no suburbs were incorporated into the Bavarian territorial reform as a result of tactical considerations by local CSU mandate holders. This made Schweinfurt the smallest independent city in Germany. The urban area only includes the core city with 36 km², while the neighboring Bad Kissingen , for example, has twice the area.
Population development
In 1939 Schweinfurt had 50,000 inhabitants. In the 1960s, 90,000 inhabitants were forecast for the year 2000 (excluding incorporations). However, completely unexpectedly, the historic high was reached in 1970 with only 59,000 inhabitants. While almost all other cities were able to compensate for demographic decreases in population through incorporation, the population in Schweinfurt fell to 52,000 by 1987. Since then, it rose again to 56,000 as a result of the repatriates until 1996 . Although over the years there have almost always been significantly more immigrants than emigrants, the birth rate fell sharply, as many young families moved to the suburbs due to a lack of building land within the narrow city limits, which grew rapidly from the 1970s ( suburbanization ). As a result, the city center was aging and the population fell in 2014 to 51,600, the lowest level since the early 1950s.
Wrong prognoses
After that, as expected by local insiders, a positive turn occurred for several reasons. Due to the new trend to move back to the cities, the wave of refugees, the opening of the i-Campus Schweinfurt , the influx of international students and, above all, due to the vacancy of a lot of living space due to the departure of the Americans in 2014, which is not in the population statistics were included. All of this was not taken into account in the statistical forecasts of the Bavarian State Office for Statistics (as of 2016), but it was already evident from 2015 to 2017, which is why the forecasts for this period were significantly exceeded. In 2017, Schweinfurt had higher growth in relative and even in absolute terms than the larger neighboring city of Würzburg, while Munich recorded a decrease in population, where increasingly high rents and losses in disposable income are becoming a negative factor.
Agglomeration
In the case of Schweinfurt, the agglomeration is a better benchmark for other cities. In 1994 it had 105,000 inhabitants, decreased to 96,600 inhabitants (census of May 9, 2011) and then increased to 98,800 inhabitants (estimate for December 31, 2016). With all suburbs, Schweinfurt has 106,500 inhabitants (2016).
In the case of Schweinfurt, the agglomeration is a better comparison of the absolute number of inhabitants with other cities because of the lack of incorporation. In 1994 it had 105,000 inhabitants, decreased to 96,600 inhabitants (census of May 9, 2011) and then increased to 98,800 inhabitants (estimate for December 31, 2016). With all suburbs, Schweinfurt has 106,500 inhabitants (2016). The agglomeration is only specify with 98,800 inhabitants, because of the construction to great distance from plantations , but functionally is a suburb that will not count with 7,739 inhabitants (2017).
