Who are you paying rent to? Who owns your house, and which company structures are behind it? Many groups in Berlin have been working on data investigations to answer such questions: when combined, such data could have a big impact on understanding and fighting the financial speculation in the housing market.

Warming up to the online conference EVICTED BY GREED: Global Finance, Housing & Resistance, Christoph Trautvetter (Netzwerk Steuergerechtigkeit / Wem gehört Berlin), leads a workshop on different ways of mapping Berlin’s property ownership. Participants hear more about and can try out different datasets of several Berlin-based initiatives that have worked on data investigations, do some guided research on their own cases and discuss together how we could work towards a common database that answers all questions of tenants in Berlin and beyond.
