About the research project
Who receives my rent payments? And who actually owns the flat that I am living in? Even though these questions are very relevant for the basic need for adequate housing, answers are hard to come by in Germany. With increasing frequency, owners are companies like Vonovia: listed on the stock exchange and primarily concerned with maximising profits. Effects are noticeable in Leipzig and Connewitz as well: rents are rising, the quarter’s social structure is changing, luxurious new-build projects are popping up in many places.
You can find the online presence of the research project here (German, English, Spanish).

About this survey
We wish to collect more information about who owns real estate in Connewitz. This is not publicly available, so we need your help. We want to give our results back to the people and make things more transparent. You can see below what this may look like in the form of an interactive online map. This survey only takes about 5-10 minutes to complete.
This survey is just one part of our ongoing research project. In the following months we will present and publish significant findings of our research. At the end of the survey you can leave your contact details to be kept up to date.
There are 10 questions in this survey.
