Where these came from

These French-speaking lawyers come from 9 sources, led by the Rechtsanwaltskammer Düsseldorf, the statutory bar of the Düsseldorf district (816), the Rechtsanwaltskammer Freiburg, the statutory bar of the Freiburg district (155) and a French diplomatic mission (143).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many French-speaking lawyers are there in Germany?
We list 1181, in 15 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Düsseldorf, with 825 of the 1181.
Is French unusual for lawyers in Germany?
34% of the 3432 lawyers we hold in Germany are recorded as working in French. Most of them come from the Rechtsanwaltskammer Düsseldorf, the statutory bar of the Düsseldorf district, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
