Afghans in Germany are German citizens with Afghan ancestry, and non-citizen residents born in—or with ancestors from—Afghanistan. In 2022 the Federal Statistical Office of Germany estimated the number of people of Afghan descent residing in Germany at 425,000 the third largest from outside the EU, and the largest group from Asia excluding the Middle East and Caucusus. In particular, there are over 50,000 Afghans in Hamburg alone, comprising about 2,7% of the city's population (as of 2023). Offenbach am Main and Hamburg had the highest shares of Afghan migrants among all German districts in 2011.
