The number of first marriages in Germany peaked in the 1960s and has generally decreased since then. Interestingly, however, the number of remarriages has remained fairly consistent and much lower than the number of first marriages. In 2023, there were approximately 247,000 first marriages, slightly less than in the previous year.
