The number of Catholics in Germany shrank by more than half a million in 2025, leaving just 19.22 million Catholics<\/a> in the country, according to the latest Church statistics released Monday by the German Bishops\u2019 Conference (DBK).<\/p>\n

The figure represents a decline from the previous year\u2019s total<\/a> of roughly 19.77 million, meaning Catholics now make up 23% of the total German population. Only 6.8% of those Catholics practice their faith by regularly attending Sunday Mass \u2014 less than 2% of the country\u2019s overall population.<\/p>\n

The share of practicing Catholics rose from 6.6% to 6.8%, but a closer look reveals that fewer people actually attended Mass in 2025 than the year before: 1.304 million compared with 1.306 million. The percentage increase is a statistical effect of the sharp drop in the total number of Catholics.<\/p>\n

Six dioceses now have a double-digit percentage of Massgoers, up from five the previous year: Dresden-Meissen, Eichst\u00e4tt, Erfurt, G\u00f6rlitz, Magdeburg, and Regensburg. Four of the six are East German diaspora dioceses, and two are in Bavaria.<\/p>\n

While the number of confirmations and first Communions remained stable between 2024 and 2025, only about 109,000 people were baptized \u2014 a decrease of more than 7,000 baptisms.<\/p>\n

The number of readmissions and new entries into the Church increased slightly, though still fewer than 750 people in each category. <\/p>\n

At the same time, formal departures from the Church \u2014 a legal process in Germany that exempts individuals from the country\u2019s church tax \u2014 fell from over 321,000 to around 307,000, continuing a downward trend in recent years.<\/p>\n

Bishop Wilmer\u2019s response<\/h2>\n

Bishop Heiner Wilmer, SCJ, of Hildesheim, chairman of the DBK, commented<\/a> on the latest figures.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am grateful for the committed work of the full-time staff in our Church and also for the quality of pastoral care,\u201d Wilmer said. \u201cIt is a welcome sign that Mass attendance is once again slightly increasing. And I see it as a positive sign that the numbers for first Communion and confirmation have remained stable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Wilmer said he regrets \u201cthe still high number of departures from the Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe motives are different, and yet I say \u2014 because we are a community of believers through baptism and confirmation \u2014 that every Church departure hurts us,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are becoming fewer Christians in Germany, which does not stop us \u2014 with all the necessary measures that this entails \u2014 from giving witness to our faith with great personal commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilmer expressly addressed \u201ca word of thanks to all volunteers in our Church.\u201d They are \u201cnot captured by the statistics,\u201d he said, but there are \u201caround 600,000 who ensure that the Church with its diverse offerings is made possible in society in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cDespite all the upheavals, I encourage us not to bury our heads in the sand but to look forward and seek together \u2014 also in ecumenical solidarity \u2014 ways in which being Christian today can lead to greater acceptance in society.\u201d<\/p>\n
