Stories from Mühldorf · Germany

Mühldorf is projected to see a population increase of up to 11% in the next ten years. This growth could lead to further rent increases if housing supply does not keep pace, potentially making it difficult for local and young families to find accommodation. The town must also ensure its infrastructure, including childcare facilities, schools, transportation, and healthcare, can accommodate the rising population. However, Mühldorf's district administrator, Max Heiml, views the population growth positively, seeing it as an opportunity and a potential source of more workers.

Mühldorf County's Landrat Max Heimals sees potential for more workers, benefiting local businesses seeking staff. This could also attract companies to settle in Mühldorf. Heimals stated that Mühldorf should be a county where people not only sleep but also work and stay. He said that municipalities must cooperate more closely to ensure growth does not become a problem but a benefit for the region. In contrast, Upper Franconia is projected to see a population decline of 3.5%. Local municipalities must collaborate to manage this growth effectively.
