German city economic and dynamic rankings

Overview

A new analysis by IW Consult, commissioned by Wirtschaftswoche and ImmoScout24, has evaluated 71 German cities based on their development and economic power over a five year period.

Frankfurt was ranked as the most dynamic major city in Germany, securing first place in the dynamics ranking and leading in economic strength and municipal tax revenue growth. The city’s growth is linked to its financial sector, digital economy, chemical industry, and international airport.

Munich was named the strongest major city in Germany, taking the top position in the labor market, real estate market, and quality of life categories. Munich also leads in its artificial intelligence ecosystem, showing high density in AI startups and patent applications. However, the study noted that Munich faces challenges including the highest rent and real estate prices in the country and significant traffic congestion.
