Berlin and Brandenburg: Population boom 2024 despite decline!

The current migration statistics show that Berlin and Brandenburg had a considerable increase in population last year. According to the Borkener Zeitung , more people in the two federal states in 2024. Especially for Berlin there is a migration gain of over 27,000 people who are only fed by immigration from abroad.

Brandenburg can also come up with a positive result. In 2024, more than 22,000 people were looking for their luck here, whereby moves from abroad and from the capital themselves were registered. If you compare the figures with the previous year, however, there is a certain decline in migration dynamics: in 2023 Brandenburg still had an increase of 29,786 people, while in 2024 it was only 22,629.

The Berlin districts in focus

The picture in Berlin looks similar: While in 2023 32,765 people came into the city, this number dropped to 27.107 in 2024. It is interesting that nine out of twelve Berlin districts were able to record a move. The popularity of Reinickendorf was particularly high, where 16,264 new residents were counted. In the middle of these growth regions, however, districts with a negative migration balance, such as Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and Neukölln, were more

The influx developed quite differently in Berlin. Reinickendorf and Mitte were the clear pioneers, followed by other districts. For the Berlin surrounding area, the situation is similarly gratifying, where almost all circles could win gains. The only exception is the district of Oder-Spree, which has to struggle with a loss of internal migration of 4,795 people.

Brandenburg's asylum seekers and immigration

For Brandenburg, the central reception center for asylum seekers in Eisenhüttenstadt, which coincides with part of the migration process, also stands out. From Potsdam, on the other hand, there was a small decline because 376 people migrated to other Brandenburg counties.

The migration statistics are not a novelty. Since 2010, the migration balance has been regularly recorded and updated, as can be seen from Statista. By 2024, the immigration and moves will be documented precisely, and fluctuations are particularly interested in the circularity. From 2025, the Federal Statistical Office will apply the Cell Key method for the secrecy of data, an innovative technology that corresponds to slight changes in the event of cases.

It remains really exciting to see how the migration movements in Berlin and Brandenburg will develop. The big cities still have a high charm, and it seems as if the population is very popular in urban centers. If the trends continue, both Berlin and Brandenburg could go through a very dynamic development-which the entire region could benefit from, as well as the Statistics authority indicated.
