List of municipalities in Germany

Below is a list of municipalities in Germany with over 20,000 inhabitants in December 2022.

The list is sorted by population and gives the state of every municipality.

In German, the term Mittelstadt (literally "middle [sized] city") is used for a settlement with 20,000 to 99,999 inhabitants, while a settlement of 100,000 or more is called a Großstadt (literally "big city", but usually translated "city").

Population is counted either in terms of a continuous urban area or by municipal boundaries.

If going by municipal borders, that also makes this a list of Groß- and Mittelstädte.
