  • In absolute terms, Treptow-Köpenick and Pankow each add around 28,000 people, with Lichtenberg near 25,000.
  • The steepest declines are forecast for Steglitz-Zehlendorf (about 2.9 percent, roughly 9,000 fewer) and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (about 2.5 percent, roughly 8,400 fewer), prompting Senator Christian Gaebler to call for district-tailored planning.
