Cross-border comparison

Dekra either side of the border .

Two networks of incomparable size only compare at equal population. Brought back to 100,000 inhabitants, the counts become readable side by side — and the gap points either to room for development or to saturation.

Reading the figures

The 1,156 centres are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by federal state — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded .

Frequently asked questions about Dekra in Germany

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many centres does Dekra have in Germany?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 1,156 Dekra centres in Germany, across 16 federal states. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Germany does Dekra reach?

52.1 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a Dekra, and 78.1 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.

Is Dekra denser in Germany or in France?

Per 100,000 inhabitants, Dekra has 1.38 centres in Germany against 1.66 in France — a density 17 % lower. Both records come from the same source and the same method, which is the condition for the gap to mean anything.
