The bbg Berliner Baugenossenschaft eG ( spelling : bbg BERLINER BAUGENOSSENSCHAFT ) is a German housing cooperative based in Berlin .
With a housing stock of 7026 residential units spread over 88 residential complexes (as of September 30, 2018), it is one of the largest of around 80 building cooperatives in Berlin. The portfolio is distributed over 21 of the 96 Berlin districts and is managed by five service offices. As of September 30, 2018, it had 11,513 members.
history
The cooperative was founded on May 16, 1886 with 28 members, making it the oldest housing cooperative in Berlin. The first two-family house in Adlershof was completed in autumn 1886, and the number of members had risen to 58. The second house was completed in 1887, another six in 1888, and eighteen in 1889. On January 1, 1890, it had 652 cooperative members. In 1906 the first rental house, the Karl Schrader House , was built on the corner of Malplaquet and Liebenwalder Strasse in Wedding .
With the end of the First World War and the introduction of the Rentenmark in 1924, there was a great housing shortage in Berlin. Like other non-profit companies, the bbg was forced in the 1920s to switch from building its own home to building rental houses. In five years the bbg created a building program and built new residential complexes in Köpenick , Reinickendorf, Lichtenberg, Steglitz, Weißensee and Neukölln. As a result, the first 56 rental apartments were also built in Uhlenhorst and Kaulsdorf . By the 40th anniversary in May 1926, a further 12 apartments were completed in Köpenick, 116 apartments were under construction in Reinickendorf and Lichtenberg and 173 apartments were being prepared in Steglitz. At the end of 1926, bbg had 324 rental apartments. By the end of 1929, that number had risen to 1,120. In 1930 324 apartments were completed in Pankow , so the bbg managed around 1500 residential units in rental housing throughout Berlin. During the Second World War, the bbg's housing stock was also badly destroyed. Of 1731 apartments only one in five remained undamaged, 362 apartments were completely destroyed.
After the end of the Second World War, Margareta Spettmann took care of the interests of the bbg from Neukölln's Ilsenhof. In 1946 the cooperative members appointed Margareta Spettmann as a full member of the board. By 1947, she succeeded in making two thirds of the damaged apartments habitable again. In 1958, construction of 168 apartments began in Charlottenburg, 162 apartments were added in 1959/60 in the Wedding district and another 165 in Tempelhof in 1961. Almost 500 apartments were built in the 1950s, equipped with central heating, some with internal bathrooms and a lift. Overall, the bbg again had 1659 apartments. The association that organizes a wide range of tenant activities is named after Margareta Spettmann.
With the division of Berlin , the cooperative was deprived of the power of disposal over 613 apartments in the eastern sector of the city. In 1967 the bbg acquired 13 plots of land on Kurfürsten-, Machon-, König- and Kochstraße as a redevelopment agency. At the beginning of the 1970s, the largest post-war property was built, the residential complex in Ortolanweg with a total of 565 apartments and two communal facilities. It was completed in December 1975.
For the cooperative, German reunification brought its formerly divided housing stock to grow together. While this process was relatively uneventful in Weißensee, Köpenick and Lichtenberg, greater difficulties arose in Pankow and Hellersdorf, where some apartments were expropriated in the second half of the 1980s. Then the bbg tried to concentrate its holdings in the eastern part of the city on priority areas. In 1993, existing properties were exchanged with the Beamten-Wohnungs-Verein zu Köpenick eG - 32 apartments on Siegfried-Strasse were integrated into the Lichtenberger Siedlung and in return 34 apartments in Uhlenhorst were surrendered.
The cooperative aims to have a dampening effect on rent prices on the housing market and is committed to stabilizing existing neighborhood structures. No residential complexes will be sold or converted into condominiums. Every member has the right to lifelong living.
With effect from October 1, 2018, resolutions of the Board of Management came into force that restrict new memberships and the acquisition of voluntary shares. Until further notice, new members will only be accepted if they are actively looking for accommodation and if the provision of living space is considered feasible. The reasons given were the excess demand, the stable equity situation of the cooperative and the high return compared to the capital market.
Objects
As of September 30, 2018, the portfolio comprised 7,026 apartments, 76 commercial units and 1,547 garages / parking spaces, spread over 88 residential complexes.
Selected residential buildings and complexes are:
Karl Schrader House
The Karl-Schrader-Haus was named in 1906 as the first apartment building built by the bbg after one of the founding fathers of the cooperative, the lawyer Karl Schrader (1834–1913). The building is on the corner of Malplaquetstrasse and Liebenwalder Strasse in Wedding . Fourteen staircases are distributed around two inner courtyards and an open street courtyard in order to avoid the shadowy conditions in Berlin's rear buildings. Some apartments already had a bathroom. In addition, there was a library and a bathing establishment for the residents in the courtyard of the residential complex. Today (as of 2016) the house comprises 166 apartments and 3 commercial units as well as a cooperative office, a laundry room and a common room. The residential complex is a listed building .
Ilsenhof

The Ilsenhof in Berlin-Neukölln , built in 1928/29 according to plans by Hans Kraffert , is one of the most important examples of reform housing in Berlin. It comprises 182 apartments that are accessible from Jonasstrasse 49–52 in the north, Schierker Strasse 12–16 in the south and Ilsenhof 1–10. The apartments have one to three and a half rooms, most of them are medium-sized. The original furnishings included tiled stoves, double windows, cooking areas and the apartment's own bathroom. The residential complex is now a listed building.
Ortolan snail
From 1986 onwards, the residential complex called Ortolan-Schnecke was built on Ortolanweg in the context of social housing in Berlin-Britz . The cooperative self-help model was used for the first time: the members of the cooperative were able to reduce building costs and rents through their own manual and financial contributions to the expansion of the individual apartments. The structure winds its way around a former air raid shelter that could not be removed. Architect Axel Gutzeit planned 93 apartments with individually designed floor plans, balconies and communal roof terraces.
On the other side of the street in Berlin-Buckow is the so-called Ortolanburg , a nine-storey residential complex in prefabricated construction from 1974/75.
organs
The members elect an assembly of representatives, which consists of at least 50 representatives. These elect the voluntary supervisory board , which is composed of three to nine cooperative members. He advises and controls the board. The chairman of the supervisory board is Manfred Siering. The board members Jörg Wollenberg and Jens Kahl manage the business of bbg.
