If the person who's name is on the deed says I want my property to stay vacant, for what ever reason. And it is not a public safety issue but is still renovated and leased with out their consent (against their will). That is indeed tyranny.
This would fly for about 1 second in the US.
Sounds like the condition of the property is being used as a reason (excuse) to lease it against the owners will.

Straw man argument.
That is a zoning issue, I imagine there are similar laws in Germany.

How would you do it?
If I understand it, ownership is no longer a good thing?

There is no laws in the US that say you have to use the property-it is yours.
According to the article they tried this in Hamburg, and it didn't fly.
You argument with turning your apartment into an all night kabob shop is a zoning issue. Taking vacant properties is not a zoning issue.
In Kiel, the confiscation of the former C & A department store at the boat harbor triggered a nationwide look. The city used the building as an emergency stop for transit refugees - without the owner knowing it.
" The Ministry of the Interior spoke of a "responsible action" in the face of the "underlying facts". In legal terms it is a matter of "ensuring emergency situations and defending a present danger to public security". On Monday the former department store remained empty, as the sleeping places for the 320 refugees in the neighboring market hall were sufficient. But in the night of Saturday, the city was surprisingly confronted with 603 transit refugees, including many families with about 150 children and twelve infants. The last arrived by train from Passau after midnight. But the empty market hall offers only a maximum of 350 sleeping places. Children, babies and many sick people could not be expected to camp outside in the rain, stressed Social Entrepreneur Gerwin Stöcken. The insolvency administrator, who represents the London still-owner of the resident C & A building, could not reach the city over the weekend. But in order not to get back into the situation, 91 refugees had to lodge at night in the youth village Falckenstein and 30 privately, the city had then on Saturday made provision by ensuring the house, which is to be demolished next year, so Stöcken.
So you are saying that if a person works to buy a property, it's ok to take it off them if you don't like the look of it? Interesting. So you would agree then that poorer people who don't maintain their homes correctly (to your standard) should be evicted and their houses given to someone else then, right?
