People without German citizenship who were registered in the Central Register of Foreigners on 31 December 2025. Official statistics in Germany do not record race or ethnicity, so this table shows citizenship. People who hold German citizenship alongside another are not included.
Continents follow the grouping used by Destatis; Türkiye, Russia and Cyprus are counted in Europe.
From 2016 onward every figure is rounded to a multiple of 5, so the figures by citizenship may not add up exactly to the total.
People still registered with the citizenship of a state that no longer exists, such as the Soviet Union, are counted under that citizenship.
