Munich today – News from January 24th, 2023 – Munich

The front door is stylishly made of wood, as you would expect from a house that dates back to 1894. In the hallway behind, a couple of prams and half-height paneling, which has suffered a few scratches over the years, are noticeable. The staircase is also made of wood, of course, and it creaks. The way up leads past a white letter box battery, which doesn’t quite fit into the ambience, but whatever, the note on one of the boxes is decisive: “Wörth8 eV”. The mail that is addressed to the future should go in here.

The future of the house at Wörthstraße 8 is closely linked to this association and to the people who live in the listed building. The tenants have joined forces to buy their home (SZ Plus). The “Wörth8” is to slip under the roof of the apartment building syndicate. This is not a tenant mafia, but a clever concept that emerged decades ago in Freiburg, which helps to secure affordable housing over the long term. The two owners of Wörthstraße 8 are accommodating, they forgo the big business, otherwise it wouldn’t work.

Every Thursday evening, the residents meet at a long table to discuss the next steps. They want to buy the house in May, but before that they still have to raise a lot of money through cheap direct loans from private individuals. A syndicate project relies on the solidarity of society and gives something back to this society, in this case a building block for a more social Munich. With their commitment, the “Wörth8” tenants send a message to all those homeowners who are thinking of selling but don’t want to make the big bucks: In cooperation with the residents, positive things can be achieved for both sides.
