Population development
In the Middle Ages and the early modern period , the population of Stuttgart grew very slowly and fell again and again because of the numerous wars, epidemics and famine. The city was captured several times by imperial troops during the Thirty Years' War . The population fell by more than half during the war: in 1648 Stuttgart had 4,500 inhabitants, in 1600 there were 10,000. After Stuttgart became the royal seat in 1806, Frederick I had the city expanded accordingly.
Numerous publishers moved to the city. The manufacture of instruments (piano construction) also developed. The population doubled to around 40,000 between 1802 and 1843. In 1846 the station was put into operation. Companies like Bosch and Daimler settled here. With the onset of industrialization , population growth accelerated. In 1852 around 50,000 people lived in the city, in 1874 there were already 100,000. This made Stuttgart the first major city in what is now the state of Baden-Württemberg .
The population of the city also grew through numerous incorporations. On April 1, 1901, Gaisburg (4,800 inhabitants) was incorporated, on April 1, 1905, the city of Cannstatt (1900 = 26,497 inhabitants) and the towns of Untertürkheim and Wangen with a total of 43,050 inhabitants. On August 1, 1908, Degerloch (4,300 inhabitants) was incorporated. In the census of December 5, 1917, a total local population of 289,821 people was determined. According to the economics department of the War Food Office, 23,205 of these were military personnel and 3,559 prisoners of war. On April 1, 1922, Botnang, Kaltental, Hedelfingen and Obertürkheim came to Stuttgart with a total of 14,700 inhabitants. At the census on June 16, 1925, the city was home to 341,967 people.
Hofen (1,300 inhabitants) was incorporated on July 1, 1929, Zuffenhausen (15,630 inhabitants) on April 1, 1931 and Rotenberg (650 inhabitants) on May 1, 1931, and Münster am Neckar (4,900 inhabitants) on July 1, 1931. The incorporation of the city of Feuerbach and the places Mühlhausen am Neckar and Zazenhausen on May 1, 1933 brought an increase of 25,700 people. At the census on June 16, 1933, Stuttgart had 415,028 inhabitants. On April 1, 1937, Heumaden, Rohracker, Sillenbuch and Uhlbach with a total of 7,500 inhabitants were added. The incorporation of several Filder communities (Birkach, Fasanenhof, Möhringen, Plieningen, Solitude, Stammheim, Vaihingen) brought a further increase from 40,550 people to 498,063 inhabitants on April 1, 1942.
The effects of the Second World War are clearly visible . The city was the target of Allied air raids several times during the war. The heaviest attack took place on September 12, 1944 by the British Royal Air Force on Stuttgart's old town. The subsequent firestorm killed more than 1,000 people. In a total of 53 air strikes, 68 percent of all buildings were destroyed and 4,477 people were killed. Overall, Stuttgart has lost almost half of its residents since 1942 through evacuation, escape and air raids. The population decreased to 266,067 by April 30, 1945.
With the return of the evacuated persons and the influx of refugees and displaced persons from the German eastern areas, the population rose again. In 1950, as many people lived in the city of around 500,000 as after the incorporation of 1942. In 1962 the population reached its historical high of 640,560. In 2006, Stuttgart was the second largest city in southern Germany after Munich with 593,923 inhabitants and was in sixth place among the major cities in Germany .
