History and activities
The 1892 was founded on March 9, 1892 as the Berlin savings and construction association . Banking activities were later given up and only resumed in 1995 in the form of a savings facility .
Today (2017) the 1892 has over 14,000 members and a stock of 6800 apartments (3500 old and 3300 new apartments) in various Berlin districts. Many of the houses from the early days of the cooperative are listed buildings. In Charlottenburg, Spandau, Tempelhof and Wedding, 1892 operates concierge offices that support members. For example, they do shopping, help with Internet research or explain mail to authorities.
The almost 90 employees train up to six trainees in real estate management every year. In order to be able to offer practical training, the trainees independently manage an economic unit with 200 apartments under the direction of two mentors.
