Source: Population Grid: Statistisches Bundesamt Deutschland.
Explanation: Boundaries and population of settlements are computed by »City Population« using population figures of a 100m grid and "Ortlagen" geometries. The urban areas consist settled or otherwise built-up areas. A maximum connection distance of 500m to 1000m between them holds (depending on the population size). Because of the computation method, the tabulated population figures are not exact and therefore rounded. Area figures are calculated by geospatial data.
