🇩🇪 Germany

The largest age groups among Berlin’s residential population were aged 25-39 and 40-59 years. The latter was actually the most represented age group in the German capital. The age group with the least number of residents were babies aged younger than one year. Slowly growing population Berlin’s residential population has been growing in recent years, though at a slow pace. Generally, the urban population in Germany has been increasing, with over 77 percent living in cities. Berlin does not have the most expensive rent space in Germany, compared to Munich in the south or Frankfurt in central Germany, which could be a draw for younger age groups moving to the capital. On the other hand, just as in the rest of the country, the city’s age group structure is affected by a struggling birth rate. Uncertain future Based on recent figures, Berlin’s total population was almost at four million. Germany’s population count currently stands at almost 84.5 million and is forecast to decrease rather than increase in the 2020s.

“In the context of general urban research and also in historical investigations problems of housing provision and housing policies in the period of advanced industrialization play an important role. Those questions are most of the times related with the consequences of industrialization and urbanization because besides the necessary infrastructure services like the expansion of public transport, canalization, water and energy provision and facilities for health care, problems related to an adequate housing provision were more and more emphasized because the private housing economy was not able to deal with the high demand especially for small apartments. Especially the shortage of small apartments caused that questions and problems related to housing were considered as system-critically more than other social-political areas.” (Steitz, a. cit., p. 393f). Contemporary reformers and those who discussed questions related to housing formulated a high number of local political measures. Based on those discussions the author formulates his research question: “Which local political measures were undertaken by the communities of the German Empire between 1875 and 1914 under which circumstances? Some historical studies in this subject are already investigated local housing policies especially regarding the housing construction for workers in the entire German Empire. The local conditions and the measures undertaken by the different communities varied significantly. Therefore the present study tends to analyze the extent of communal housing policies looking at the case study of Frankfurt am Main because this city played an important role in this subject area” (Steitz, a. a. O., p. 397).

The German manufactured homes market, valued at approximately €8 billion in 2025, is experiencing robust growth, projected to maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 4% through 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key drivers. Firstly, increasing urbanization and housing shortages in major cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Frankfurt are creating significant demand for affordable and quickly deployable housing solutions. Manufactured homes, with their shorter construction times and potentially lower costs compared to traditional homes, effectively address this need. Secondly, growing environmental concerns and a push for sustainable construction practices are boosting the appeal of manufactured homes built with energy-efficient materials and designs. Finally, evolving consumer preferences are favoring modern, customizable manufactured homes that offer comparable quality and aesthetics to site-built homes. While challenges exist, such as regulatory hurdles and public perception, the overall market outlook remains positive. The market segmentation reveals strong demand across both single-family and multi-family units. Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Frankfurt are leading the market, driven by their high population densities and significant housing deficits. Key players like Baufritz, Fertighaus Weiss GmbH, Portakabin, Hanse Haus, ALHO Modular Buildings, DFH Group, Swietelsky AG, Daiwa House Modular Europe, HusCompagniet A/S, and Karmod are actively competing in this dynamic market, further contributing to its growth trajectory. The continued focus on innovation, sustainable construction practices, and addressing the housing crisis will be vital for the long-term success of the German manufactured homes market. The market's trajectory indicates significant investment opportunities and expansion potential for companies involved in manufacturing, distribution, and supporting infrastructure. Recent developments include: July 2022:Bouygues' acquisition of Equans, The merger is also subject to review by the Competition and Markets Authority in the UK, which has also issued a decision on its investigation on 19 July 2022. Bouygues offered to divest Colas Rail Belgium in its entirety, including all assets, personnel, and ongoing and future contracts of both its railway contact lines and track installation businesses. As a result, Colas Rail Belgium will remain an independent competitor to Bouygues and Equans in the relevant market in Belgium., May 2022:OECON sold to Portakabin. The acquisition of OECON is a key strategic move and part of the Portakabin Group's European expansion plans.

The extent of gene flow during the range expansion of non-native species influences the amount of genetic diversity retained in expanding populations. Here, we analyse the population genetic structure of the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in north-eastern and central Europe. This invasive species is of management concern because it is highly susceptible to fox rabies and an important secondary host of the virus. We hypothesized that the large number of introduced animals and the species’ dispersal capabilities led to high population connectivity and maintenance of genetic diversity throughout the invaded range. We genotyped 332 tissue samples from seven European countries using 16 microsatellite loci. Different algorithms identified three genetic clusters corresponding to Finland, Denmark and a large ‘central’ population that reached from introduction areas in western Russia to northern Germany. Cluster assignments provided evidence of long-distance dispersal. The results of an Approximate Bayesian Computation analysis supported a scenario of equal effective population sizes among different pre-defined populations in the large central cluster. Our results are in line with strong gene flow and secondary admixture between neighbouring demes leading to reduced genetic structuring, probably a result of its fairly rapid population expansion after introduction. The results presented here are remarkable in the sense that we identified a homogenous genetic cluster inhabiting an area stretching over more than 1500km. They are also relevant for disease management, as in the event of a significant rabies outbreak, there is a great risk of a rapid virus spread among raccoon dog populations.

The city of Paris in France had an estimated gross domestic product of 757.6 billion Euros in 2021, the most of any European city. Paris was followed by the spanish capital, Madrid, which had a GDP of 237.5 billion Euros, and the Irish capital, Dublin at 230 billion Euros. Milan, in the prosperous north of Italy, had a GDP of 228.4 billion Euros, 65 billion euros larger than the Italian capital Rome, and was the largest non-capital city in terms of GDP in Europe. The engine of Europe Among European countries, Germany had by far the largest economy, with a gross domestic product of over 4.18 trillion Euros. The United Kingdom or France have been Europe's second largest economy since the 1980s, depending on the year, with forecasts suggesting France will overtake the UK going into the 2020s. Germany however, has been the biggest European economy for some time, with five cities (Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Frankfurt) among the 15 largest European cities by GDP. Europe's largest cities In 2023, Moscow was the largest european city, with a population of nearly 12.7 million. Paris was the largest city in western Europe, with a population of over 11 million, while London was Europe's third-largest city at 9.6 million inhabitants.

Identifying patterns in the effects of temperature on species' population abundances could help develop a general framework for predicting the consequences of climate change across different communities and realms. We used long-term population time series data from terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species communities within central Europe to compare the effects of temperature on abundance across a broad range of taxonomic groups. We asked whether there was an average relationship between temperatures in different seasons and annual abundances of species in a community, and whether species attributes (temperature range of distribution, range size, habitat breadth, dispersal ability, body size, and lifespan) explained interspecific variation in the relationship between temperature and abundance. We found that, on average, warmer winter temperatures were associated with greater abundances in terrestrial communities (ground beetles, spiders, and birds) but not always in aquatic communities (freshwater and marine invertebrates and fish). The abundances of species with large geographical ranges, larger body sizes, and longer lifespans tended to be less related to temperature. Our results suggest that climate change may have, in general, positive effects on species’ abundances within many terrestrial communities in central Europe while the effects are less predictable in aquatic communities.

With the heightened threat to Germany's Jewish population following the Nazi Party's ascent to power in 1933, many German Jews chose to flee or emigrate. In 1933, Germany's Jewish population was approximately 500,000 people; by the end of the war, it is estimated that 300,000 fled the country, and 165,000 were murdered in the Holocaust. In order to flee, most Jewish emigrants from Germany had to give up the majority of their wealth to the German state, whose emigration tax and seizure of property stripped Jews of their financial assets. Destination and transit For Germany's Jewish refugees, the most common destination country was the United States, and almost half of all these refugees would arrive in the U.S. over this 12 year period. As the United States had a strict quota of 27,000 German migrants per year, many refugees were forced to enter via other countries. France was the second most common destination country, receiving 100,000 refugees. However, France was also used as a transit country for German Jews wishing to travel further afield, especially after it was annexed by Germany in 1940. This was also true for several other European countries, such as the Netherlands, which had provided protection for German Jews in the mid-1930s, before rapidly becoming very unsafe following the outbreak of war in 1939. The Frank family Possibly the most famous example of this was the story of Anne Frank and her family. Anne had been born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1929, but her family moved to the Netherlands in 1934 after Hitler came to power. The family then led a relatively comfortable and successful life in Amsterdam, with her father, Otto, founding his own businesses. When the Netherlands was invaded by the Germans in 1940, the family tried to emigrate once more; Otto had been granted a single Cuban visa in 1942, but the family was forced to go into hiding as the restrictions tightened. For the next two years, with the help of non-Jewish friends, they lived in secret in the upper floor of Otto's business premises with several other Jewish refugees, in a small space concealed behind a bookcase. In August 1944, through unknown means, the group was betrayed and then arrested by Dutch authorities, and the Frank family was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau thereafter. Anne's mother, Edith, died of starvation in Auschwitz within five months of her capture, while Anne and her sister, Margot, died one month later after being transferred to the Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany. Otto was the sole survivor of the group. Otto's secretary, Miep Gies, had saved Anne's diary the day after the group was arrested, which she then gave to Otto; he then devoted much of the remainder of his life to the publication and promotion of his daughter's diary, which has now become one of the most famous and widely-read books in recent history. Additionally, the hiding space is now open to the public, and has become one of the Netherlands' most popular tourist museums.

Demographics; sarcopenic vs. non-sarcopenic patients.

Rund 775.790 Einwohner:innen lebten im Jahr 2023 in der Stadt Frankfurt am Main. Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr ist das ein leichter Anstieg. Damit belegt die Stadt Platz fünf unter den zehn größten Städten Deutschlands und ist zugleich die größte Stadt des Bundeslandes Hessen. Die Mainmetropole weist eine Jahrhunderte lange Geschichte auf und ist ein internationaler Finanz- und Handelsplatz, der infolge der einsetzenden globalen Finanzialisierung stark an Bedeutung zugenommen hat. Dementsprechend ist die Bevölkerungszahl der Stadt Frankfurt und die umliegenden Metropolregion Rhein-Main seit Jahrzehnten gewachsen. Die Lage im Zentrum Europas und hohe Bedeutung der Finanzindustrie in Frankfurt am Main führten dazu, dass die Stadt zu den ökonomischen Weltstädten gilt und unter anderem Sitz der Europäischen Zentralbank, der Deutschen Börse und der Deutschen Bundesbank ist. Zudem gehört die Region zu den wichtigsten und größten europäischen Metropolregionen in Deutschland. Das Leben zwischen Bahnhofsviertel und Skyline Die Bevölkerung Frankfurts teilt sich in 16 Bezirke und 43 Stadtteile auf. Mit rund 44.047 Menschen lebten die meisten Einwohner:innen Ende 2022 im Gallus. Knapp dahinter folgt das studentisch geprägte Bockenheim. Der kleinste Stadtteil mit etwa 3.700 Einwohner:innen war zum selben Zeitpunkt das Bahnhofsviertel. Es ist gleichzeitig das wohl bekannteste Viertel der Stadt, vor allem aufgrund der hohen Kriminalität und des Drogenkonsums, aber auch durch die multikulturelle Bevölkerung – die typisch für die Mainmetropole ist. Auch die Gentrifizierung des Bahnhofsviertels ist ein viel diskutiertes Thema. So finden sich mittlerweile immer mehr Cafés, Restaurants und Bars in der Kaiserstraße und der Münchnerstraße. Durch die Nähe des Bahnhofsviertels zum Banken- und Finanzdistrikt folgt eine fortschreitende Umgestaltung der umliegenden Stadtteile, wodurch vor allem kostenintensiver Wohnraum entsteht, der zunehmend zu einer Verdrängung der ärmeren und sozial schwächeren Bevölkerung führt.  Mainhattan - Das Finanzzentrum der Europäischen Union Im Zentrum von Frankfurt finden sich unzählige Hochhäuser, weshalb Frankfurt am Main aufgrund der ikonischen Skyline gerne als Mainhattan bezeichnet. Die Stadt ist neben London das wichtigste Finanzzentrum Europas und hat damit nicht nur für Deutschland, sondern für die gesamte Europäische Union eine wichtige Bedeutung. Neben wichtigen deutschen Kreditinstituten, wie Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, KfW Bankengruppe und der DZ Bank Gruppe, hat auch die Europäische Zentralbank ihren Sitz in Frankfurt am Main. Viele Geschäftsleute ziehen deshalb aus aller Welt in die Stadt, was sich auch am Anteil der ausländischen Bevölkerung von rund 30,9 Prozent zeigt. Die besondere Rolle Frankfurts als Finanzzentrum und Sitz internationaler Player der Finanzbranche spiegelt sich auch in dem Wirtschaftserfolg der Region. Für einen Großteil der Wirtschaftsleistung der gesamten Region war Frankfurt verantwortlich. Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP) der Metropolregion FrankfurtRheinMain steigt seit Jahren konsequent an und erreichte im Jahr 2021 einen Wert von rund 301 Milliarden Euro. Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP) der Stadt Frankfurt am Main belief sich im Jahr 2023 auf rund 74,1 Milliarden Euro.
