For cities in the former German Democratic Republic, only in few cases comparable older population figures are available; in those cases, the census population of January 1971 and end-of-2006 population estimates are tabulated taken from »Statistisches Jahrbuch der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik« and »Statistisches Landesamt des Freistaates Sachsen«.
Explanation: Communes and states within the boundaries of 31 December 2024. For privacy reasons, the statistical office skewed the 2022 census numbers by small amounts. To avoid inconsistencies and negative values, further adjustments are applied here. The 2022 total population of Germany exclude 8,258 persons posted abroad.
