Berlin is the city in Germany with the largest Turkish population.
According to the German Federal Statistical Office, as of 2021, there were approximately 300,000 people of Turkish origin living in Berlin.
This makes up about 10% of the city's total population.
The large Turkish community in Berlin is a result of several factors, including:
- Migration from Turkey in the 1960s and 1970s as Germany experienced a labor shortage.
- Family reunification policies that allowed Turkish workers to bring their families to Germany.
- Continued immigration from Turkey in recent years.
The Turkish community in Berlin has had a significant impact on the city's cultural landscape, contributing to its diverse culinary scene, vibrant arts and music scene, and unique social fabric.
