Germany faces a significant housing crisis, with a need for 2.56 million new apartments by 2030 due to rising demand outstripping construction. In 2023, only 294,400 new apartments were built against a necessary estimate of at least 320,000. Berlin requires the highest number of new apartment additions at 23,000 annually to meet demand. However, relative to their populations, smaller Bavarian cities exhibit even greater needs per capita, highlighting the varied nature of the housing crisis across the country.
In terms of real numbers, Berlin needs the most apartments built, with estimates suggesting about 23,000 more units annually until 2030 to keep pace with demand.
While major cities like Munich and Berlin are well-known for their housing shortages, it's smaller Bavarian cities that face the highest per-capita need for new housing.
