Bad Honnef / Potsdam (dpa / bb) - More and more German citizens are fulfilling their wish for a home with a prefabricated house.
In the past year, more than every fifth building permit for one and two-family houses was for a building prefabricated in the factory.
At 22.2 percent, the share of prefabricated houses in building permits was higher than ever, reported the Federal Association of German Prefabricated Buildings (BDF), citing figures from the Federal Statistical Office.
Brandenburg is in the middle of the field nationwide with 21 percent: Baden-Württemberg has the largest share of 38.4 percent, Hamburg the lowest with 8.7 percent.
Last year, according to the information, building authorities across Germany approved almost 106,000 single and two-family houses.
Of these, a good 23,500 houses were prefabricated with wood.
That corresponds to an increase of 11.2 percent compared to 2019.
The overall market for single and two-family houses, on the other hand, grew by only 4.3 percent - in Brandenburg by only 1.2 percent.
Because of the high demand for prefabricated houses, manufacturers currently have an average order backlog for 12 months.
That is how long it takes for the ordered house to go into production, the BDF recently reported.
