Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000167 EndHTML:0000002024 StartFragment:0000000454 EndFragment:0000002008 Germans are moving back to the city center in record numbers — to Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich. In the 1990’s they moved out to hamlets and small towns on the fringe of suburbs. Now the population is retiring and want to make it easier to get around. They want to give up their cars now that their children have left the nest.

What is shows is that Germany’s population is getting older. Not enough couples are giving birth to babies. Only the immigrants such as the Turks are reproducing. This was a lamentable trend that Hitler noticed one hundred years ago. During the Third Reich he gave speeches to rally the spirit to produce more children. Dr. Goebbels gave a symposium about the subject in the 1930’s. He said that Germany’s women ought to stay home and reproduce. They shouldn’t take so many jobs. He was even successful at getting the population to increase for awhile until World War II started.

What would Hitler think if he could see the swanky new development in Munich called Isargarten condos? It’s south of Munich in the heart of Thalkirchen District at the U Bahn Station. It’s along the river and almost all sold out. I think he would shake his head and sigh that the demographics problem is getting worse.
