Distribution of Migrants in Germany

Migration was one of the major topics in the last federal election and continues to spark heated debates. Our graphic provides an overview of the distribution of people in Germany without citizenship.

Most of them live in West Germany, particularly in areas like Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, and North Rhine-Westphalia. Historical developments and the appeal of cities continue to shape this distribution today.

However, the fear of "the foreign" remains a significant issue – often fueled by prejudice and a lack of experience with diversity. While migration enriches our society, challenges such as housing shortages and infrastructure remain pressing concerns.
