Here are the statistics for Q1 2024 vs Q1 2023:
minus 35.6% for single-family homes
minus 20.0% for semi-detached homes
minus 22.9% for apartment buildings.
Notably, the demand for building permits has been falling since at least 2023. Compared to March 2022, it has declined by 46.9%.
Other than that, everything is perfect in Germany (not really).
