Afro-Germans (German: Afrodeutsche) or Black Germans (German: schwarze Deutsche) are Germans of Sub-Saharan African descent.
Cities such as Hamburg and Frankfurt, which were formerly centres of occupation forces following World War II and more recent immigration, have substantial Afro-German communities. With modern trade and migration, communities such as Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, and Cologne have an increasing number of Afro-Germans. As of 2020[update], in a country with a population of 83,000,000, there were over 1,000,000 Afro-Germans. (The German census does not use race as a category).[2] The number of persons "having an extended migrant background" (mit Migrationshintergrund im weiteren Sinn, meaning having at least one grandparent born outside Germany), is given as over 1,000,000 [1] The Initiative Schwarzer Deutscher ("Black German Initiative") estimates the total of Black Germans to be over 1,000,000 persons.[1]
