There were more than half a million (religious) Jews in Germany in the years between 1919-1930 or about 0.75% of the whole German population. (Even if you add the non-religious Jews, half-Jews and quarter Jews the total is not more than about 800,000). 80% of German Jews were well educated and urban based.
Some had achieved prominence in politics, the press, business, banking and in universities.

Jewish organizations in Germany give the total figure of about 110,000 Jews overall in Germany. Some other sources (using an ethnic as well as religious defintion) put the figure at about 200,000.
