Erfurt housing cooperative Borntal
The Erfurt housing cooperative Borntal eG , until 1990 workers housing cooperative "Ernst Thälmann" , AWG for short , is a registered cooperative in Erfurt . It was founded on May 12, 1954 in order to provide the employees of the nearby state- owned companies ( Optima , Funkwerk, etc.) with living space.
The building cooperative today has 1,194 cooperative apartments, most of which were built by volunteers in 3 to 4 storey buildings ( old new buildings ) by 1964 and almost all of them were fully modernized by 2005 . The vacancy rate is therefore below average compared to other housing stocks in Erfurt .
Most of the company's residential buildings are located in Erfurt's Borntal valley at the foot of the “Lange Graben”. The residential area is bordered by the FC Borntal sports field, a branch of the Rewe group, the Gutenberg high school , Heinrichstrasse ( Bundesstrasse 4 ) and the Federal Labor Court (Biereyestrasse). Further houses are u. a. on Dahlienstraße, Günterstraße, Eobanstraße, Gustav-Adolf-Straße and Rubianusstraße.
