Population boom in Schleswig-Holstein: More and more people are increasing!

in Schleswig-Holstein, the population rose to 2,955,644 at the end of 2023, which corresponds to an increase of 16,400 people compared to the previous year, as the North Statistics Office announced. It is interesting to mention that this increase is recorded despite a considerable birth deficit of around 15,000 people, since around 33,400 people died in the same period and only 18,400 births were registered. The main cause of population growth is the immigration, with over 31,400 admitted, mostly from other federal states and from abroad. Particularly high increases were found in the circles around Hamburg, such as Segeberg and Pinneberg.

raid against illegal gambling in Schleswig-Holstein

Another remarkable incident in Schleswig-Holstein was a large-scale raid against illegal gambling, in which around 270 police and emergency services searched a total of 14 objects in Kiel, Neumünster and Flensburg on Tuesday, December 10, 2024. This campaign followed the investigations that were initiated in Kiel-Gaarden after a similar raid last year. The Schleswig public prosecutor's office confiscated valuable evidence, including computers, mobile phones and data carriers, and also ensured a six -digit amount of money. However, no arrests were made because the assignment was directed against the backers and not against the people who had set up the machines, as General Prosecutor Georg-Friedrich Güntge explained, as ndr Schleswig-Holstein reported.

The current situation in Schleswig-Holstein shows a mixture of persistent demographic growth and challenges in the field of public security. In addition to the statistical developments that reflect a certain attitude to life in the region, the associated crime cases raise questions about the security measures and the effectiveness of the parties to combat illegal activities in the country, according to Stern .
