German Emigration Flows by Destination
get_emigration_flowsOFFICIAL GERMAN EMIGRATION DATA: where German citizens actually move, by destination country and year (Destatis statistic 12711-0008, 2016 onwards). Returns departures, arrivals and net migration per destination, plus each destination share of the NAMED-destination base. Revealed preference, not opinion: in 2025 at least 288,579 German citizens deregistered for a move abroad, a net loss of about 96,689; Switzerland, Austria, Spain, the United States and France were the largest stated destinations. CRITICAL, returned in the caveats field: roughly 48% of departures state NO destination, so rankings describe the named base only, and totals are a floor because people leave without deregistering. Never trend across 2015/2016 (definitional break). Popularity is not suitability. Pass year, destination or top. Licence dl-de/by-2-0; Destatis attribution mandatory on reuse.
