Population growth in the Dahme-Spreewald: Wildau attracts attracters!

In the district of Dahme-Spreewald, a persistent but growing population growth is determined for 2024. According to Maz-online.de lived a total of 183,200 people in the district at the end of 2024, which corresponds to an increase of 1,200 people compared to the previous year. This results in growth of 0.7 percent, but analysts notice that the relevance of growth dynamics has tended to decrease since 2010.

of the 23 municipalities in the district only recorded half a noticeable growth in 2024. The real estate market is under pressure because a persistent crisis enables fewer new buildings and thus makes it difficult for people to move. In addition, fewer asylum seekers were assigned than in 2022.

growth focus and challenges

particularly highlighted is Wildau, which has a growth of 2.2 percent. A larger construction project on Röntgenstrasse is realized here, while the municipality has set an upper limit of 14,000 inhabitants to protect the infrastructure. In Oberwildau, the Bonava company is planning to build 240 apartments, of which 50 are already under construction. Other projects on the Meyer-Beck site and on Birkenallee could also contribute to increasing the population.

Other municipalities in the district face various challenges. Bestensee lists a growth of 2.3 percent, followed by Schulzendorf with 1.5 percent and Heidesee with 1.3 percent. Mittenwalde and Königs Wusterhausen, the latter now has more than 40,000 inhabitants, show modest growth of 1.1 percent and 1.0 percent. In Schönefeld, however, a standstill was found at the development stop of a 100 hectare building area in Schönefeld-Nord.

In addition to the current developments in the district, a population forecast shows that the Dahme-Spreewald district could continue to become more important by 2030. According to wfg-lds.de , a increase in population is predicted by 10.9 percent, which means that the population of 170.800 in the year 2019 could increase to 189,500 in 2030. These growth come from the positive development of the labor market and the numerous housing offers that are to be strengthened by the new Berlin-Brandenburg (BER) Airport.
