In the winter of 2023/24, around six homeless people died due to freezing temperatures in Germany. This was unchanged compared to the the previous year.
There are no official statistics on cold deaths from the federal, state and local governments. The BAG W bases its count on media reports. The association assumes a high number of unreported cases both in terms of the number of people living on the streets and of frozen homeless people, so the numbers can only be estimated. Some cities offer emergency shelters or cold buses during the winter to protect those in need from the cold.
