Munich is growing rapidly: Over 1.8 million inhabitants are expected by 2045!

Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied, Deutschland - Munich is on an impressive growth trip! The current demographic report of the city administration predicts that the population will increase to around 1.83 million by 2045, which corresponds to an increase of 14% compared to the end of 2024. Around 1.6 million people currently live in the Bavarian capital. Young adults who come to Munich due to professional or training parades are particularly important as attraction. A slight birth surplus also keeps the numbers in height - even if the birth rate fluctuates in recent years.

The birth rate showed a remarkable trend: in 2021 there were over 18,000 births, while the number in 2023 for the first time fell below 16,000. A review shows that the city has been in a positive growth phase for around 25 years, which is due to a variety of factors. The Corona pandemic braked the growth temporarily, but the attractiveness of the city remained intact. Migration, especially through refugee people from Ukraine, contributed to the fact that the population not only became statistically but also culturally more colorful, which stadt.muenchen.de impressively describes.

young districts in the upswing

A detailed view of the age structure shows exciting differences between the districts. The average age in Munich drops slightly from 41.3 to 40.6 years. A large rejuvenation can be observed in Bogenhausen, especially where the average age decreases by 2.4 years. With the Freiham district, the “youngest” district of Munich will be given in 2045, with an average age of only 36.9 years. By expanding and developing Freiham, a population of around 85% growth is to be achieved by 2045.

On the other hand, districts such as the Schwanthalerhöhe and Maxvorstadt age, where the average age increases by 1.5 and 1.3 years. In general, Trudering-Riem is one of the fastest growing areas, here an increase of more than 40% is predicted. By 2045, over 32,000 new residents can look forward to this district.

urban planning in full travel

The city takes the future challenges seriously and plans concrete measures to create schools, daycare centers and a modern traffic infrastructure. This planning is based on the forecast data that are recorded in the demographic report. muenchen.t-online.de emphasizes that the forecasts do not represent any precise prediction, but as an important basis for urban development serve.

With a view to the coming years, it should be noted that Munich will continue to assert itself as an attractive place to live. The strong growth in connection with the mixture of old and new as well as a lively international culture are the building blocks that the state capital will keep on their wave of success. The mixture of tradition and a dynamic environment makes Munich a coveted goal, and not only for young people, but for everyone who is looking for quality of life.
