The first housing cooperative Berlin-Pankow eG is a housing association in Berlin-Pankow . On December 14, 1955, the workers' housing association Neues Deutschland was founded and, after several changes, was later called AWG Klinikum Berlin-Buch . It has existed in its current form since 1965. The cooperative currently owns 3,552 apartments, mostly in the districts of Pankow and Buch, and has around 4,000 members. Approx. 70% of the building stock has been modernized.
The cooperative has been working closely with social organizations such as Caritas since 2006 and converted various buildings into Buch to be senior-friendly and barrier-free according to their requirements.
Litigation
The cooperative became known through several legal disputes, for example when it sued 700 tenants who had not agreed to a rent increase. The lawsuits eventually had to be withdrawn.
Representatives who thereupon expressed themselves critical of the board of directors under the leadership of Wolfgang Busch at the extraordinary meeting of representatives were expelled from the cooperative by the board of directors. According to the court, this exclusion was illegal, as confirmed by the Berlin Regional Court . The attempt to continue to exclude an affected representative from the meeting of representatives was also unjustified, decided the Federal Court of Justice in 2001 .
The cooperative continued to be in the headlines from February 2004 when the trial opened before the Berlin Regional Court against the former chairman of the board, Wolfgang Busch, on charges of breach of trust . He was in this office from 1991 to 2002 and is said to have received a severance payment of 510,366.75 euros when he left the company, which was possible due to unauthorized changes to the contract. The former chairman of the supervisory board, Holger Schulz, was charged as an accomplice. A lawyer and one of her employees were charged with aiding and abetting. In May 2005 the proceedings went to the second instance.
