Population development of Tübingen. Above from 1470 to 2017. Below an excerpt from 1871

In the Middle Ages and the early modern period , Tübingen only had a few thousand inhabitants. The population grew only slowly and fell again and again due to the numerous wars, epidemics and famine. The plague epidemics in 1348 and during the Thirty Years' War in 1634/35 claimed numerous lives. Only with the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century did population growth accelerate. In 1818 only 7,500 people lived in the city, in 1900 there were already 15,000.

By 1939 the population had doubled to 30,000. As a result of numerous incorporations in the early 1970s, the population grew from 55,000 in 1970 to 70,000 in 1973. On December 31, 2008, the " official population " of Tübingen was 85,344 according to the state statistical office of Baden-Württemberg (only main residences and after comparison with the other state offices). On April 1, 2009, Tübingen introduced a tax on second homes, prompting a large number of students in particular to register with a primary residence in Tübingen. This led to an increase in the population and, for Tübingen, to an increase in funds from the municipal financial equalization scheme. The number of residents from 2008 onwards cannot be compared with the figures up to 2007 due to the part-time residents.

The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1828 it is mostly an estimate, then census results (¹) or official updates from the state statistical office. From 1871, the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the place of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.
