Simon Kuestenmacher(@simongerman600):This animated map shows the population change in Germany (current boundaries) over the last 150 years. Cities display wider than they really are. Every district is one flat block of data, so the round hills are just smoothing. Height is people per area, so a mountain's volume is the actual number of people in it. Blue is below half the national average of 2024. Source:
