1, what is the total population of Germany since its unification?

Germany has a total population of 82.264 million (including 7.3 million foreigners). Older people over 60 years old account for 23% of the total population, while young people and children under 20 years old only account for 265.438+0%. In 2000, the birth rate was 0.92%, the death rate was 1.05%, the natural growth rate was -0. 12%, the immigration difference was 0.24%, the total population growth rate was 0. 12%, and the population density was 230 people/km2. Second only to Russia in Europe. With a population density of 230 people per square kilometer, it is also one of the most densely populated countries in Europe.

The population distribution in Germany is very uneven. After reunification, the population of Berlin has increased rapidly, reaching more than 4.3 million at present. The population of industrial zones along the Rhine and Ruhr rivers with dense cities exceeds 65,438+0,654,380+0,000. Other densely populated areas include the Rhine-Main area where big cities such as Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Mainz are located, the industrial zone in the Rhine-Neckar Valley, the economic zone centered on Stuttgart, and cities such as Bremen, Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich and Nuremberg and their affiliated areas. But in the northern German lowlands, Ayffre, Bavarian forest areas, Upper Valts, Brandenburg border areas and most parts of mecklenburg-Prebaum County, the population is sparse. The population density in western Germany is obviously higher than that in eastern Germany, and four of the 20 cities with a population of over 300,000 are in eastern Germany. The annual birth rate in Germany (2000) was 9.2/65,438+0,000, which has always been one of the countries with the lowest birth rate in the world, with an average of only 65,438+0.8 children per couple. After World War II, Germany's population growth mainly depended on immigrants.

German nationalities and ethnic minorities

Today's German nation is called Germanic. It is composed of Franks, Saxons, Schwabens, Bavarians and other ancient Germanic tribes, and their respective traditions, customs and dialects continue to this day. Therefore, in Germany, people are divided into Bavarians, Schwabens, Rhineland, Hessians, mecklenburg, Saxons, westfalen and others. People also have some fixed views on their own personality characteristics, for example, mecklenburg people are taciturn, Rhineland people are generous and cheerful, westfalen people are self-serious, Schwab people are thrifty, Saxons are diligent and clever, and so on. They not only have differences in personality, but also retain their outstanding characteristics in the style, daily habits, clothing and diet of buildings and residential areas. There are also a few Danes, Gypsies and Sorbs living in Germany, and Sorbs are the only minority in Germany.
