Number of recipients of care in Thuringia increases - Thuringia sees a 7.3% surge in civil service pensioners this year
The number of civil service pension recipients in Thuringia has risen sharply this year. As of January, 19,370 people now receive pensions under the Beamtenversorgungsgesetz (Civil Servants' Pension Act). This marks an increase of 1,310 compared to the previous year—a growth of 7.3 percent. The largest group among recipients includes 17,160 retired civil servants, judges, and magistrates, many of whom were previously employed in jobs hiring public administration, education, or law enforcement before retiring. Of these, 14,995 were previously employed by the state government, while 2,155 served local authorities. The latest figures show a steady rise in civil service pensioners in Thuringia. With over 19,000 now receiving benefits, the increase reflects both standard retirements and cases of occupational disability. The education sector accounts for a significant portion of early exits due to health reasons in jobs hiring.
