So south and west live in bigger space. Surprised to see Munich having larger average living space given how expensive the living space is there.

EDIT: Munich city itself is only 71 sq.m. vs region which is 96 sq.m.

Where do you see that? Munich is in the lowest category or at least in one of the lowest (hard to see with the colour shades) just as almost any other big city.

It's 96 sq.m. Yeah not the highest but in comparison to Berlin with 70 sq.m., it's still high. Berlin is supposed to have slightly cheaper per sq.m. price.

You can go to the attached link in OP's source and see different cities. I would have highlighted the state capitals though in the plot.

Ok, I was talking about the actual city which (if I am not totally wrong) at least on the map has the same or similar shade as Berlin, Hamburg etc

Edit: yea the visualisation tool gives me 71m2 for the city of Munich

I am talking about actual city also. Berlin and Hamburg are in a different color shade (70-80) from Munich (90-100). The color gradient isn't great though.

EDIT: you're right about Munich city (71 sq.m.) vs Munich region (96 sq.m.)

Sadly this misses many details, Eastern Europe has many socialist workers buildings, with many apartments in one building.

In other regions are more villas because the wealth shifted immensely to the west during the reunion progress.

Many flats are in city districts became speculative assets for the rich. It’s more valuable to create one big Appartement out of two smaller ones.

In general Germany is densely urbanised leaving less room to build new houses with more space and forces companies to build more compact apartments.

It would be great to add the rough estimate of rent per square meter, to get a better view on regional popularity.
