Apartments whose Jewish residents had been deported were allocated to new tenants. For this, the Generalbauinspektor für die Reichshauptstadt (General Building Inspector for the Reich Capital, GBI) – which was both the name of the authority and the official title of its head, Albert Speer – worked closely with the Finanzamt Moabit-West and the Vermögensverwertungsstelle. In many cases, the GBI passed these apartments on to “Abrissmieter*innen” (tenants in buildings designated for demolition) who had lost their homes during Berlin’s planned redevelopment. The costs incurred for renovations, lost rental income for the owners, and cosmetic repairs were paid for in part from the stolen assets of the deportees and in part from the GBI’s coffers.
