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?
Kevin Wörner, 33, has moved his social media content company, Channel Craft, from Berlin to Warsaw, Poland. He is among 4955 Germans who have emigrated to Poland in 2025, a number that puts Poland ahead of the UK, Italy, and the Netherlands in terms of German emigrants. This trend reverses the lower numbers seen since the pandemic. Meanwhile, only 1720 Germans have returned to Germany from Poland, resulting in a negative "Wanderungssaldo" or migration balance.
