Hotels and guesthouses counted 423,000 guests in the first half of the year, only about half as many (minus 52.3 percent) than in the same period of the previous year, which was also affected by the pandemic.
That comes from figures from the State Statistical Office from Tuesday in Erfurt.

This development is more serious in Brandenburg.
9,700 more people died there than were born.
No district and no urban district could thus record a surplus of births.
Nevertheless, the population increased slightly in the first half of 2021 by around 1200 to a total of 2,532,300 people.
The statisticians attribute this increase to the increased number of immigrants.
According to this, about 36,600 people moved to Brandenburg, while 25,700 left the country.
