Germany's northern coastal cities, particularly Kiel, boast the best air quality, according to recent EEA data. This trend aligns with broader European patterns, where northern and western cities generally have cleaner air than those in southern and eastern regions. Stockholm leads as the capital with the best air quality. In contrast, Görlitz has the poorest air quality among German cities, with several other southern and industrial cities ranked poorly, including Oberhausen and Nuremberg. The EEA's analysis utilized data on PM2.5, NO2, and O3 pollution from the past two years.
The German cities with the best air quality on average tend to be found along the country's northern coast, whereas cities in south-eastern regions tend to be more polluted.
The EEA's study revealed that Stockholm has the cleanest air of all European capitals. In comparison, Berlin took a middle position with air quality that is better than Vienna.
Kiel has the best air quality in Germany on average, with other northern cities like Flensburg, Lübeck, and Schwerin also ranked high for clean air.
Cities found in Germany's south-eastern regions, as well as a couple of cities near to industrial regions, had the worst air quality, with Görlitz being the lowest ranked.
