Migration: Why are more and more Germans emigrating to Poland?
Our Eastern European neighbour is attracting as many Germans as it has not done for a long time. What is the reason for this? And what can Germany learn from Poland?
More and more Germans are moving to Poland, with 4941 making the move in 2025, according to the German Federal Statistical Office. Kevin Wörner, a 33-year-old entrepreneur, is one of them, having relocated from Berlin to Warsaw to run his social media content company, Channel Craft. Wörner cites Poland's attractive tax environment, modern infrastructure, and business-friendly culture as reasons for his move, with corporation tax rates of 9% on annual revenues up to €2 million, compared to at least 30% in Germany.
Poland's economy has grown by 3-4% annually over the past 20 years, with investments in infrastructure, digitalization, and a highly motivated and international workforce.
