It is good in Munich! In 2025, too, the Bavarian capital shows an up -and -coming picture: since October 2024, over 1.6 million people have been romping here, and the number of inhabitants continues to rise. The fact is that Munich will be located by the end of 2045 with an increase from 14.1% to 1,829,520 inhabitants. This emerges from the new demographic report, which was recently presented in the Committee on Urban Planning and Building Regulations. According to tz.de, the average annual growth is calculated with about 0.63% or around 10,750 people per year.

The growth of this diverse city is due to a birth surplus and numerous immigration from innions and foreign regions. Many young people from other federal states such as Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia as well as international talents flock, looking for training positions and a new professional challenge. The universities, which are very popular for many, are currently becoming special attention.
