About this chart

Germany was the 6th most populous country in the world in 1950, with 69.9 million people. By 2023 it had 84.5 million, but its rank had fallen to 19th. The population rose to 78.7 million in 1975 and 81.8 million in 2000, and the UN medium projection puts the peak at about 84.55 million around 2024, essentially the latest estimate.

From there the projection falls: about 82.8 million in 2030, 78.3 million in 2050, 72.8 million in 2075 and 70.9 million in 2100. That final figure would be only slightly above the 1950 population. Germany's projected world rank slides to 24th in 2050 and 36th in 2100. Source: UN World Population Prospects 2024.
