Enteignungsinitiative: Wohnungsankauf «Hinterzimmerdeal»
Berlin (dpa/bb) – (…) According to the Initiative “Deutsche Wohnen & Co enteignen”, speaker Moheb Shafaqyar says: “We do support transfer of housing as public good, yet not along deals arranged in the backyard (so-called ‘Hinterzimmerdeals’) and not at speculative prices.”
The issue of socialisation or ‘Vergesellschaftung’ in German terms would mean good business for Berlin along neutral budgeting, according to Shafaqyar. Accordingly, the Initiative wants companies owning more than 3000 appartments to socialize these, meaning to no longer owning these against a given compensation (‘Entschädigung’) – as long as such entail the intention of making a profit (“Gewinnerzielungsabsicht”). The intitiative claims that this would stop raising rents and ensure affordable housing, in the longterm. Berliners can vote September 26, 2021, in parallel to the Parliament of Berlin (‘Abgeordnetenhaus’) and parliamentary elections, in favour of the said socialisation of rents.

Berlin full of leaves
Berlin autumn is full of leaves and people, wheather sometimes grey, letting people enjoy the city from inside. Our guests arrived from as far as Algeria these days via GIZ Berlin.
Autumn in Berlin
Bringing guests to less hidden places like the GDR relict of 1986. Today, the monuments of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels at Spandauer Str., downtown Berlin’s “green oasis”, are said to remain with the people’s will, if respected. We hope it will.
. . . the location issue remains unclear, until present . . . The Berliner Zeitung reported on the idea to build the new central library here . . .
Syria remains in a dramatic situation . . .
We celebrate Berlin’s Fall of the Wall
