Central Frankfurt has been a ''[[Großstadt]]'' (a city with at least 100,000 residents by definition) since 1875. With 414,576 residents in 1910, it was the ninth largest city in Germany and the number of inhabitants grew to 553,464 before [[World War II]]. After the war, at the end of the year 1945, the number had dropped to 358,000. In the following years, the population grew again and reached an all-time-high of 691,257 in 1963. It dropped again to 592,411 in 1986 but has increased since then. According to the demographic forecasts for central Frankfurt, the city will have a population up to 813,000 within its administrative boundaries in 2035<ref>{{Cite web |title=Prognose: Frankfurt gewinnt weiter viele Einwohner |url=https://www.zeit.de/zustimmung?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zeit.de%2Fnews%2F2020-11%2F20%2Fprognose-frankfurt-gewinnt-weiter-viele-einwohner |access-date=3 May 2021 |website=ZEIT Online |archive-date=20 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201120121538/https://www.zeit.de/zustimmung?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zeit.de%2Fnews%2F2020-11%2F20%2Fprognose-frankfurt-gewinnt-weiter-viele-einwohner |url-status=live }}</ref> and more than 2.5 million inhabitants in its urban area.

This would have made Frankfurt officially the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin with up to 3 million inhabitants.<ref>H. Voit, Die kommunale Gebietsreform in: Erwin Stein (Hrsg.): 30 Jahre Hessische Verfassung, Wiesbaden 1976, p. 416 ff. (Text in German)</ref> However, because local authorities did not agree, the administrative territory is still much smaller than its actual urban area. ===Moroccan community=== Frankfurt has the largest Moroccan community in Germany, numbering about 8,000 people, and the [[Frankfurt Rhine-Main|Rhine-Main area]] has about 20,000. Many [[Moroccans]] came as guest workers in the 1970s. Today Frankfurt has many Moroccan restaurants, companies, shops, mosques and hamams. Due to the popularity of Moroccan culture in Frankfurt, it also led many people from the [[Maghreb]] and other African countries to move to Frankfurt. Famous singer [[Namika]] was born in Frankfurt to Moroccan parents. {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible" style="text-align: right;" |+ Population of the 46 city districts on 31 December 2009 |- style="vertical-align:top;" !
