    I was there … 80 years ago…

    I paid 350 Euros for 50qm back in 2008, now I am at 1k for 65 lol. Ok my salary increased and my apartment now is awesome but honestly… this is a scam.

      65sq.m in Munich would cost 1.4K so still cheaper compared to Munich, heck I was paying 800Euro for 35 sq.m. in Munich 6 years ago

        Yes but honestly the salaries in southern Germany has been always higher than in the north and the east. So to many people in Berlin or Leipzig this was a real shock and led to gentrification. The downtown districts of Berlin are just as boring like in any other big city in Europe now.
