The story

In July 2015, it was reported that Deutsche Wohnen had about EUR 600M available, and might be looking to acquire 8,000-9,000 apartments.

In September 2021, a public referendum named after the company took place, asking the residents of Berlin if large corporate landlords should have their residential apartments expropriated. Over 56% of voters agreed, and the decision has been put before the newly elected local government.
