BR-Reportage (44 min., 2021) "With timber construction out of the climate crisis?"

Online until 19.01.2026

In the video contribution, among other things, the Munich timber housing estate "Prince Eugene Park" and the City of Wood in Bad Aibling.

"Drought and bark beetles are taking their toll on the forest. The resulting damaged wood has caused the price of wood to plummet. The local forest owners are making a loss, even though the beetle wood is exported thousands of kilometres to China and America as construction timber. What could be the solution to the timber crisis? And could more timber construction in our country also be a way out of the climate crisis?"

Wohnungsmarkt: Unbezahlbare Mieten

Housing market: unaffordable rents

The researchers consider a gross warm rent that is less than 30 percent of the household income to be affordable.

"Nearly two million affordable homes are lacking. The situation is likely to get worse. Social housing must be promoted more strongly."

There is a shortage of 1.9 million affordable flats in major German cities. Low-income earners in particular often cannot find a rental flat they can afford. The situation for households at risk of poverty is particularly tense in Munich, the Rhine-Main region and Cologne-Bonn. But affordable housing is also scarce in cities with many low-income earners such as Berlin, Leipzig or Dresden. This is the conclusion reached by Henrik Lebuhn, Andrej Holm, Stephan Junker and Kevin Neitzel in a study funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation. The urban sociologists from Humboldt University Berlin and Goethe University Frankfurt investigated which flats people can afford and how this fits in with the supply on the respective rental market.
