WHAT WE FOUND

Hello! I've looked into this for you, and while we have some data on Germany's changing population, the specific figures you mentioned for 2001 and 2025 aren't fully confirmed by these sources 15. We know that Germany has certainly adapted to its role as a major migrant magnet in recent years 2. According to records from 2021, migrants made up about 18.8% of the population 5, and some reports indicate the proportion of foreigners has historically been around 9% 4. While there are projections suggesting that the foreign-born population could reach 30% by 2030 6, the specific percentages of 8.9% in 2001 and 20.5% in 2025 are not explicitly stated in the documents provided 37. Because we lack the exact data points for those specific years, this claim remains unverified 14.
