Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

I don’t live in Brandenburg, but in Saxony, so nearby, and I haven’t only traveled around Germany. Such a statement can also hurt people or their feelings. Who would want to read that they live in the ugliest federal state? Whatever happens, I would never buy the ugliest chair or the ugliest house and certainly wouldn’t live in the ugliest area. But you do live where you find it ugly, and even voluntarily? Sorry – what did you smoke? And then you name the Haaaarz as the top destination in Germany and not the Alps foothills, Allgäu? Am I reading that right? How did we say it back in our youth when something was really bad? "You can kick it into the Harz." But we said that because we didn’t know anything else back then. The Harz has had a really nice rally since then. o_O You are currently using the presence of clothes/hardware stores as a standard for “beauty/attractiveness” of a region? People are so different, I realized that most recently when a young woman from Duisburg told me years ago that she didn’t like Heidelberg at all, because everything there was green (no joke!), and then she was back in Duisburg and breathed the smoke-laden Ruhr air with relief. And that Lower Saxony is supposed to be one of the most beautiful federal states, I hadn’t heard that before either... but I don’t need to because I know there are beautiful spots everywhere in Germany, if you can see and like them. I have to go to Lower Saxony or to the Haaarz... great!

Besides, unfortunately, you can still tell when you drive from West Germany into East Germany.

What exactly can you tell that generally makes it uglier? After living in Saxony for several years now, my eye has gotten used to the many still gray-brown, partly dilapidated houses and I see the beautiful or unchanged aspects in them, while in my probably wealthy West in the 70s, everything older was demolished. When I drive to Baden-Württemberg today, I see it completely differently; in my former residential area I felt uncomfortable and suddenly saw grimy spots that were already there before, I just hadn’t seen them. I see extremely dull areas in the much-praised Bavaria or also in Hesse and elsewhere. The answer is quick: EVERYTHING is ALWAYS in the eye of the beholder; if the beholder feels comfortable, he also likes his surroundings better at the same time. Everyone has a positive connection to their place of residence or region somewhere, even people from Duisburg_O. But that someone would currently even build their house and start their life in the objectively perceived ugliest federal state – I really don’t know that so far and I seriously wonder whether smoking something would be enough for me to do that consciously and voluntarily.

When I go to Baden-Württemberg today, I see it completely differently; in my former residential area I felt uncomfortable and suddenly saw dirty corners that were already there before, I just didn’t see them. I see extremely desolate areas in the oh-so-praised Bavaria or also in Hesse and elsewhere. The answer is quick: EVERYTHING is ALWAYS in the eye of the beholder; if the beholder feels comfortable, he also likes his surroundings better simultaneously.

No question. Taste and perception are always subjective. That’s why I don’t understand the fuss when I express my personal opinion. I have also been to Saxony several times, since we have two of our hospitals there. I found, among other things, Radebeul very nice. The vineyards etc., very beautiful.

Much ado about nothing. If I say, for example, that I find Citroën ugly, that’s just an opinion, which is subjective. I don’t understand all the fuss...

We once lived nicely, right next to Wackebarth.
But if you look up the wine slope and know that at the very top in the villa with the tower Max Strauß resides and acts unpleasantly, you'd rather look in another direction :D into the flat...

In our community at a similar distance to Munich, nothing three-digit per square meter of building land is possible anymore. However, in the small villages around the outskirts without any infrastructure, you can still get something significantly cheaper. At least according to the standard land value...

The current (published) standard land value here is €310/m². 2.5 years ago, we already paid €400. The current selling price is apparently >1000 (that was for the last plot here). The paper on which this is recorded is no longer worth it. How it looks in other places in BW, I cannot say. Further out in the countryside (e.g., on the Swabian Alb), building land must certainly be significantly cheaper. Unfortunately, that doesn’t help if you established your main place of residence in another location more than 10 years ago. Job, children, circle of friends, etc. you don’t just change because building land is affordable more than 100 km away. The main reason could probably still be the job. Unfortunately, there are also significantly fewer jobs in more rural regions. Ergo, fewer people move there. Example: West of Stuttgart (own experience). Extremely populated by large companies. Daimler, Porsche, Bosch, Trumpf,... There is hardly any space and building land. Many employees commute there often up to 1 hour or more (one way). More is simply practically impossible (if you still want to sleep). But where do these companies build new production/development centers with hundreds of jobs? Back there. The problem has been worsening there for years. Building land is almost non-existent and anyway not affordable. For small condominiums, more than €500k are already being asked there.

Brandenburg is one of the ugliest federal states in Germany.

… my personal opinion….

Don’t understand all the fuss...

Find the mistake! (Words are often impatient)

Baden Württemberg no longer designates any building areas. Thanks to a Green state government, no development plans are being created either

Alone in our area within a 10km radius, at least 300 plots in 3-4 building areas will be developed in the next 3 years. And that although Stuttgart is only 40km away. It will still be tight. As for the rest, I have to say you're right, in our 2 building areas there are about 120 children, the kindergarten would have to resort to containers. These children are now almost all coming to school at once. The school is big enough but teachers are scarce. Soon everyone will be surprised..
