Introduction

“DIEkleine BRANDENBURG- STATISTIK 2007” (The small Brandenburg Statistics 2007) offers information on the development in the Land Brandenburg based on the most important statistical re- sults.

Divided into thematic chapters, figures on the demographic, eco- nomical, social, cultural, and politi- cal structures of Brandenburg are presented (Chapters 1 – 27). As far as possible, developments are highlighted by showing the figures for the years 1998, 2002 and 2006.

The brochure also contains infor- mation on the administrative dis- tricts (Chapter 28), data on Brandenburg‘s development since 1990 (Chapter 29), and an accumu- lation of figures for the region of Berlin / Brandenburg.

At the end of 2006 Brandenburg had a population of 2.548 million.

This has been a net loss of 11,700 residents (– 0.5 percent).

The trend of population decrease continues since 2001. However, the loss in 2006 was the highest re- corded in Brandenburg since 1992.

The decrease was mainly caused by a birthrate deficit: 17,883 children were born in 2006 but 26,348 inhabitants died. Brandenburg also suffered a migration loss of 3,300 residents.

The tourism in Brandenburg achieved a record high in the number of visitors. Last year 3.22 million people visited Brandenburg. The visitors booked 8.8 million overnight stays. It is remarkable that the average duration of the stay increases from year to year.

The gross domestic product (adjusted for prices) increased 1.9 percent in 2006. The hotel, res- taurant and production industry performed better in 2006. It seems that the decline in the construction industry has stopped: The gross value added (adjusted for prices) increased 3.1 percent from 2005 to 2006.

“DIEkleine BRANDENBURG- STATISTIK 2007”gives an initial overview of the data of- fered by the official statistics. For the »Land« Berlin an analogical brochure is published, named

“DIEkleine BERLIN-STATIS- TIK 2007” (The small Berlin Statistics 2007). Those interested also can find a similarly struc- tured selection of figures for the Federal Republic of Germany as well as benchmark figures for all German “Länder” in “Key Data on Germany”, published on a yearly basis by the Federal Statistical Office.

Consumer Prices

The consumer price index shows the monthly development of consumer prices.

Thus it is considered to be a general measure of the change in the purchasing power of money. The basis for calculating the index is a commodity basket with approximately 750 goods and services (price representatives). In accordance with their share in the overall expenditures of private households in the respective price base year (here: 2000), they are incorporated into the index calculation with different values (weights).
