Rents have risen dramatically in what was once a hotspot district, and the town hall fears real estate speculation – and has decided to use the instrument of conservation statutes to provide more protection for thousands of tenants. Two other quarters go away empty-handed. Why?

But the displacement of tenants with low incomes has long since reached the outskirts of the city, even areas that were once considered social hotspots. The Left/The Party faction has therefore applied for environmental protection for three residential areas in the north of Munich, and for one of them – in the middle of Hasenbergl – it found a majority in the planning committee on Wednesday.
