<abstract>This text is an introduction to concepts and methods of demographic description and analysis. The substantial focus is on the demographic development ofgermany, all data refer to this country. The main reason for this focus on a single country is that we want to show how the tools of demography can actually be used for theanalysis of demographic problems. The text consists of two parts. Part I introduces the conceptual framework and explains basic statistical notions. This part also includesa short chapter that explains how we speak of "models" and why we do not make a sharp distinction between "describing" and "modeling" demographic processes. Then followsPart II that deals with data and methods. In the present version of the text, we almost exclusively discuss mortality and fertility data.</abstract>
