This year, too, major German cities were judged on their quality of life, economic strength and development.
We'll tell you which cities are the most livable.
Where do you have the best
chances on the job market
?
In which city is the
economy
booming
?
And above all, where is the
quality of life
highest?
These questions were also addressed in this year's
2020 city
ranking.
A city in Bavaria made it to the top as the most economically strong German city.
The city ranking is carried out regularly by
the Cologne Institute for Economic Research
on behalf of ImmobilienScout24 and WirtschaftsWoche.
The 71 German independent
cities with over 100,000 inhabitants
are assessed on the basis of a wide variety of criteria.
Over 100 aspects such as the labor and real estate market * or the economic structure are included in the evaluation.
This results in three different ranking categories.

Level ranking: Munich still at the top
The Bavarian state capital
Munich
not only wins the overall level ranking, but also leads all sub-areas.
Quality of life, economy, real estate and labor market are at the top level in Munich.
Second place can also be secured by a Bavarian city:
Ingolstadt
is particularly impressive in the economic area.
Stuttgart came in third, followed by Erlangen, which fell two places compared to the previous year.
Biggest winner of the ranking: Heilbronn
.
The city on the Neckar can improve itself by a total of fourteen places and thus reaches twelfth place.
Two cities from North Rhine-Westphalia, on the other hand, remain at the bottom: Gelsenkirchen ranks 71st and Herne 69th.

Dynamic ranking: Kiel makes a leap up
Munich is also at the forefront in the dynamic
ranking
and pushes
last year's winner Berlin
back to second place.
The state capital can score points above all with a large start-up scene and a large number of research institutions and universities.
The
Hanseatic City of Kiel
can make up most of the places
, having moved up 17 places from 17th place.
But
Lübeck
also made it
into the top ten
with an improvement of ten places
and is now in sixth place.
Salzgitter brings up the rear, this is where the least development was felt in the last five years.
Sustainability as a new category
Regensburg
leads
the ranking when it comes to
sustainability
.
The city can
convince
both in the areas of
ecology and social
issues.
This is followed by Ingolstadt, which scores particularly well with its per capita solar output, and Heidelberg.
