Vonovia deputy-CEO Zinnoecker leaves group

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Thomas Zinnoecker, the deputy-CEO of Germany's biggest real estate group Vonovia has left the company, the company said on Monday.

Reuters had reported last year that Zinnoecker -- who headed property group Gagfah until its merger with Deutsche Annington, which was later renamed to Vonovia -- was leaving for CVC-owned metering firm ista.

Vonovia last week failed to win the necessary support for a 9.9 billion euro hostile offer for Deutsche Wohnen, which would have been Germany's largest property deal ever.
