If i remember correctly the issue with the estimation of the value of houses and land was, that it was done based on 1918 and 1930 or so baseline values that then were adjusted over the years, but the underlying structure, which areas are expensive, which are cheap, what infrastructure is available… was never changed.
So because of systematically undervaluing property to benefit rich people, the wealth tax was stopped because the court found that it is unjust by undervaluing property.
Germany is a Banana Republic which affords more professors to devise ways in which to claim the contrary.
For extra absurdity:
