While more than 20,000 asylum applications were registered by 1990, between 1991 and 2003 there were already more than 95,000.

The number of Iraqis registered in Germany rose from 51,211 in 2000 to 79,413 in 2009.

With regard to the proportion of the population of migrants from Iraq, the city of Pforzheim was at the top of the districts and urban districts in the Federal Republic in the 2011 census , followed by Bielefeld and Ludwigshafen am Rhein .
