Increase in Non-German Residents in Saxony-Anhalt - Increased Presence of Foreigners in Saxony-Anhalt

Got your attention, folks! The population of foreign folk residing in good ol' Saxony-Anhalt has seen a significant bump. As reported by the State Statistical Office in Halle, we've got 189,100 foreign women and men calling this place home by the end of 2024 – that's a whopping 4.3% increase from the previous year!

Now, here's the interesting part: the largest group we're welcoming are the Ukrainians (19.1%), followed closely by Syrians (15.7%) and Poles (7.6%). But wait, there's more! These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to foreign populations in Germany, as the overall foreign population was approximately 29.7% in 2023, including foreigners, naturalized citizens, and ethnic German repatriates from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

While the foreign population in Saxony-Anhalt is notably smaller compared to the national average due to demographic patterns, it's worth noting that this state boasts almost an entirely ethnic German population with no significant indigenous minorities. broader German immigration trends reflect significant communities from Turkey, Eastern and Southern Europe, and refugee groups.

Detailed nationality breakdowns by state can be found via official statistics, but as for Saxony-Anhalt, we're a bit of a demographic anomaly within Germany, with low foreign population levels despite the nation's immigration trends.

  4. Although Anhalt, particularly Saxony-Anhalt, has historically had a small foreign population compared to the national average, the rising percentage of Ukrainians, Syrians, and Poles living there could signal a shift in demographic trends by the year 2024.
