"Earlier this week, the 2025 Happiness Atlas found that people in Germany are once again more satisfied with their lives than they were in the past few years. The mood has noticeably brightened since the coronavirus pandemic begun. One in two people now describe themselves as very satisfied. Satisfaction has grown more markedly in eastern Germany than in western states. People in Hamburg are the happiest."
"The "BiB.Monitor Well-Being" survey, conducted by the Federal Institute for Population Research, has come to a similar conclusion. The agency surveyed 30,000 individuals living in Germany aged 20 to 52, and also included results of other studies looking specifically at the integration of individual immigrant groups. More than a quarter of Germany's 83 million people are the children of immigrants or have immigrated within the past 50 years."
Life satisfaction in Germany has risen and nearly returned to pre-coronavirus levels, with one in two people describing themselves as very satisfied. The improvement has been stronger in eastern Germany than in western states, and Hamburg records the highest happiness. A large national well-being survey of 30,000 adults aged 20 to 52 reached similar conclusions and incorporated studies of immigrant-group integration. More than a quarter of the population are recent immigrants or their children. Researchers identify an "integration paradox" in which descendants of immigrants report lower satisfaction than their immigrant parents because greater participation ambitions can provoke social resistance and frustration. New immigrants from Eastern Europe show the highest satisfaction levels.
