Several thousand people demonstrated in Berlin on Saturday against high rents and evictions in the German capital.
The protesters - numbering 4,000 according to police but 12,000 according to organizers - demanded a radical change in housing policy.
Demonstrators called for a nationwide rent cap, an end to forced evictions and a ban on contract terminations in cases where owners seek to use a property for their own purposes.
They also demanded the implementation of a 2021 referendum which saw 59% of voters demand public ownership of real estate companies with more than 3,000 flats in Berlin.
