In 2023, the two largest cities in Germany, Berlin and Hamburg, had a housing shortage. That means that there were less housing units added to the stock than new households formed in those city-states. The southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg had the largest housing shortage in 2022 and 2023.
