Germany's birth rate reached lowest level on record in 2025

As the number of women of childbearing age declines in Germany, birth rates are projected to continue falling. The German Family Association says family-unfriendly structural policies are to blame.

Germany's birth rate fell to its lowest post-World War II level in 2025.

According to preliminary figures from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), around 655,000 live births were recorded in 2025, compared to around 680,00 in 2024.

Last year, the country recorded more than one million deaths. This brings the birth deficit to around 350,000, setting yet another record.

Declining birth rates for the fourth year in Germany Last year marked the fourth consecutive year of decline in the birth rate and the lowest level since 1946.

Germany's current replacement rate is at 1.35 children per woman, which is a record low and far below the 2.1 needed to maintain a stable population.

The Destatis attributes this trend to the entry of the relatively small birth cohorts born in the 1990s into the crucial fertile age of their early 30s, as well as the decline in the total fertility rate since 2022.

As in previous years, the number of births in 2025 fell more sharply in the eastern German states (-4.5%) than in the western states (-3.2%) compared to 2024.

No more German babies means no more Germans. Choices have consequences.

I guess we won't have to worry about the Huns anymore.

A German jihad is another subject we will have to address.
