Population dresden?

The population of Dresden on May 14th 2012 is approximately 545,266.

Dresden has been divided into ten districts called "Ortsamtsbereich" and nine former boroughs ("Ortschaften") which have been incorporated. The population of Dresden grew to 100,000 inhabitants in 1852, making it one of the first German cities after Hamburg and Berlin to reach that number. 35 The population peaked at 649,252 in 1933, and dropped to 450,000 in 1946 because of World War II, during which large residential areas of the city were destroyed.

After large incorporations and city restoration, the population grew to 522,532 again between 1950 and 1983. Since German reunification, demographic development has been very unsteady. The city has struggled with migration and suburbanization.

During the 1990s the population increased to 480,000 because of several incorporations, and decreased to 452,827 in 1998. Between 2000 and 2010, the population grew quickly by more than 45,000 inhabitants (about 9.5%) due to a stabilized economy and re-urbanization. Along with Munich and Potsdam, Dresden is one of the ten fastest-growing cities in Germany,31 while the population of the surrounding new federal states is still shrinking.

As of 2006update about 51.3% of the population was female.

41 As of 2007update the mean age of the population was 43 years, which is the lowest among the urban districts in Saxony. 42 As of 31 December 2013update there were 43,707 people with a migration background (8.7% of the city's population), and about half, 25,224 or about 4.7% of all Dresden citizens were foreigners. 43 This percentage is almost the same as in 2006 with 4%.

Dresden is one of Germany's 16 political centers and the capital of Saxony. It has institutions of democratic local self-administration that are independent from the capital functions. 44 Some local affairs of Dresden receive national attention.

Dresden hosted some international summits such as the Petersburg Dialogue between Russia and Germany, the European Union's Minister of the Interior conference and the G8 labor ministers conference in recent years. The city council defines the basic principles of the municipality by decrees and statutes. The council gives orders to the "Bürgermeister" ("Burgomaster" or Mayor) by voting for resolutions and thus has some executive power.

45 As of 2008update, there was no stable governing majority on Dresden city council (Stadtrat). The Supreme Burgomaster is directly elected by the citizens for a term of seven years. Executive functions are normally elected indirectly in Germany.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
