Brandenburg's population figures in 2025: immigration is booming, storms are raging!
An exciting report on population development and challenges in family planning was presented today in Cologne. On June 25, 2025, the city of Brandenburg published its comprehensive population report, which can be viewed on the City of Brandenburg. At the end of 2024, the city had a population of 74,457, which means a slight decrease in the natural population balance: 447 births compared to 1,124 deaths.
A key issue is immigration and emigration. A vivid picture emerges here: 3,401 arrivals were registered, while 2,538 people left the city. What is particularly pleasing is that over 50% of the newcomers are in the age groups from 0 to under 18 years and from 18 to under 30 years. This suggests that Cologne remains attractive for young families and young professionals.
Households and employment
The number of households has also increased and now stands at 41,453 – a nice increase compared to the previous year. Over 80% of these households are one- and two-person households, which shows that singles and couples are also well represented in the city. In addition, there are now 44,198 apartments for these households, which indicates a desired balance between housing supply and demand.
In the city, 30,565 jobs are subject to social insurance contributions. However, it remains to be seen whether these numbers will be enough to meet the needs of the growing population. In keeping with the busy developments, there was also a recent storm that resulted in numerous fire brigade calls in the city.

The barriers for women are particularly oppressive, be it due to poverty or a lack of education. In many countries the legal framework is so restrictive that 750 million women suffer from significant restrictions. Over 40% of the women surveyed had to give up their desire to have children or discovered that they had fewer children than they originally planned.
Niels Annen, State Secretary in the Ministry of Development, emphasizes the need for support measures to assist women and couples who want to realize their family planning. Angela Bähr from the DSW also calls for funding for sexual and reproductive health programs.
