German Society

 An eccentric office building weaves its way through the financial district of Frankfurt.

            Today I will be discussing the German society. Germany has a population rate of 81,305,856 as of July 2012; according to CIA- The World Factbook. The Major cities in which German’s population live in are, Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin (Capital) and Munich. With a large population, Germany has a few ethnic groups in their society. The German society is made up of mostly about eight ethnic groups. Those ethnic groups are Turkish, Italian, Russian, Greek, Polish, Spanish, Serbo- Croatian and German. German is the leading ethnic group at a high rate of 91.5%. Even with a mix of ethnic groups, the main language that is spoken in Germany is German. Due to the many ethnic groups in German, there are about four different religions the Germans have to choose from. The religions that are mostly follow by the German’s are Roman Catholic (by 34% of Germans), Muslim (by 3.7 % of Germans), Protestant (by 34 % of Germans) and other faith (by 28.3% of Germans). As you can see Protestant and Roman Catholic are the two faiths that are follow the most and by the same amount of Germans. As time pass and more people born and or move to Germany, there will be many more changes to the German society, and with changes new facts and data will be available.
