leerstandsmelder.de
is a website that maps vacant buildings in German cities. The project was
initiated by students of architecture in Hamburg a more than a year ago when
they mapped the vacant buildings of a derelict area in Hamburg, the Gängeviertel.
After a year the project was expanded throughout Germany and currently
maps vacant buildings in Hamburg, Berlin, Bremen, Kaiserlauten and Frankfurt.
Due to broad coverage in local media, Leerstandsmelder Berlin could
accumulate more than 220 entries within the last two weeks. And the numbers are
steadily growing.
