Islam's significance in Germany has largely increased[3] after the labour migration in the 1960s and several waves of political refugees since the 1970s.
According to a representative survey, it is estimated that in 2019, there were 5.3–5.6 million Muslims with a migrant background[a] in Germany (6.4–6.7% of the population), in addition to an unknown number of Muslims without a migrant background.[1] A similar survey in 2016 estimated a number of 4.4–4.7 million Muslims with a migrant background (5.4–5.7% of the population) at that time.[4] An older survey in 2009 estimated a total number of up to 4.3 million Muslims in Germany at that time.[5] There are also higher estimates: according to the German Islam Conference, Muslims represented 7% of the population in Germany in 2012.[6]
In a 2014 academic publication it was estimated that some 20,000-100,000 Germans converted to Islam, numbers which are comparable to that in France and in the United Kingdom.[7][8]
