membership count
The total number of people who are members of an association, organization, or political party.
Die Mitgliederzahl des Sportvereins ist im letzten Jahr konstant geblieben.
The sports club's membership count remained constant last year.
The word is made up of 'Mitglieder' (members, plural of 'das Mitglied') and 'die Zahl' (number). So it literally means 'die Zahl der Mitglieder' (the number of members).
Die Mitgliederzahl des Fitnessstudios ist stark gewachsen.
The fitness studio's membership count has grown significantly.
'Mitgliederzahl' (membership count) is often combined with verbs that describe a change or a state, such as 'steigen' (to rise), 'sinken' (to fall), 'wachsen' (to grow), 'abnehmen' (to decrease), or 'konstant bleiben' (to remain constant).
Wir hoffen, dass die Mitgliederzahl weiter steigt.
We hope that the membership count continues to rise.
Although the word refers to many people, 'die Mitgliederzahl' (the membership count) itself is a singular noun. The verb in the sentence is therefore also singular.
Die Mitgliederzahl des Chors beträgt aktuell 45.
The choir's membership count is currently 45.
membership
'Mitgliedschaft' and 'Mitgliederzahl' are both connected to members of an association or organization, but they do not mean the same thing. 'Mitgliedschaft' can be the state of being a member, for example your membership in an association. It can also mean the group of all members. 'Mitgliederzahl' means only the number of these people. Learners may confuse the words because both begin with 'Mitglied'. If you are asking whether someone belongs or is a member, you need 'Mitgliedschaft'. If you are asking how many members there are, you need 'Mitgliederzahl'.
Der Verein will die Mitgliederzahl bis zum Sommer deutlich erhöhen.
The association wants to increase its membership count significantly by the summer.
