Germany's property sector is in stress, underscoring a major change of fortune for real estate in Europe's largest economy after an end to the era of cheap money. REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach/File PhotoFRANKFURT, Aug 11 (Reuters) - A Munich-based property developer said on Friday it had filed to open insolvency proceedings with a local court, in the latest sign of stress in Germany's real estate sector. Weakness in real estate has also emerged in the United States and Sweden. Germany is Europe's largest economy and the biggest real estate investment market on the continent. The property sector accounts for roughly a fifth of Germany's economic output and one in ten jobs.

"I am worried because we are in a deep real estate crisis. And the real estate crisis needs clear, structured and downright radical steps to fix it," Mattner said.

Recent data shows the stress the property sector is facing as the European Central Bank hikes interest rates, with little respite in sight. The fall is "catastrophic," said Andreas Beulich, head of the Federal Association of Independent Real Estate and Housing Companies.
