Germans Now Minority In A Major German City

‘Frankfurt has officially become Germany’s first “majority minority” city, as data from the city’s Office for Multicultural Affairs reveal more than half of the city’s residents now have a migrant background.
Sylvia Weber, the city’s secretary of integration, presented the new information this week, confirming 51.2 percent of Frankfurt’s population has a so-called “migration background.” A “migration background” includes people with a non-German nationality as well as Germans born abroad and minors whose parents have immigrated to Germany.
“The trend is clear,” Weber stated. “We are a city without a majority.”
Turks, who represent 13 percent of the population, are the city’s largest non-German minority.
