How common were foreigners in the Weimar republic?

score:2

Accepted answer

The number of foreigners, broken down by nationality, was recorded in the 1925 and 1933 censuses. Technically, the 1933 census falls just after the fall of the Weimar Republic, being taken in December 1933, but still comes within your timeframe.

A further census was taken in 1939, although that also included the territories of Austria, Sudetenland and Memelland.


The totals for the 1925 census are included as tables and in graphical format in this article on German Migration as figure 2.

A fairly complete dataset of foreigners in Germany, covering the whole period from 1834 to 2010, is available to download as an Excel worksheet from the site's associated data (03_Migration.xls).
