But don’t you tend to stay there longer? Whereas here (Australia) it’s not uncommon to move every year – don’t anyone dare argue with me there, I speak from bitter experience – my understanding is that in Germany people tend to lease a place for 5, 10, more years?

Can confirm; you get pretty sick of moving every 6/12 months, but on the plus side, you do get a decent amount of variety. :)

That sounds horrible. I'd have no intention to make the place nice, to truly make it my home - what's the point if I'm probably elsewhere in a year?
