Women living

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FrauenWohnen eG is a Munich housing cooperative founded in 1998 with the aim of guaranteeing its members (in the parlance of the cooperative co-women) a good, safe and socially responsible economic housing supply. Another goal is to keep real estate owned by women. Only women can become members, but men can also live in the residential complex. The cooperative is a rental cooperative. The target group of the cooperative are single people, early retirees with low incomes and single parents. The cooperative currently has three residential complexes (February 2015). By virtue of its statutes, it is non-profit and has received several awards.

history

The cooperative emerged in 1998 from the FrauenWohnen eV association founded three years earlier. The first project planned was a house on the former barracks site at Ackermannbogen in Schwabing-West . For financial reasons, this plan could not be realized. The first system of the cooperative was completed in 2007 in the Messestadt Riem . The construction was accompanied from 2005 on by the research project ExWoSt (Experimental Housing and Urban Development) of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing . Further buildings followed in Munich's Westend (completed in 2013) and in North Schwabing ( move into 2015). Women of the Cooperative Housing woman also wanted a common place for the burial and to have acquired through founded by them club burial ground Leaning Pine 10 tombs with room for 20 coffins and urns on the 80 of them so designated burial ground Leaning pine.

Projects

The residential complex on Ingeborg-Bachmann-Strasse in Munich-Riem consists of 49 residential units and was planned by the architects Zwischenräume GmbH. The building is laid out on four sides around an inner courtyard with public green areas and private gardens. In terms of energy, the house meets the passive house standard . It is completely barrier-free and has a general common room, a work and fitness room, a guest apartment, an office unit and a communal kitchen garden. In addition to the public water network, water is supplied via a well and a rainwater cistern, while a photovoltaic system contributes to the electricity supply. The research program accompanying the construction came to the conclusion that cooperatives relieve the state and municipalities by not only providing socially disadvantaged population groups with affordable housing, but also by integrating them into society. In the laudation of the German Builder Award 2008, the jury praised the residential project as "exemplary in terms of organizational form, urban integration, grouping, financing, energy saving and design".

The residential complex at Westendstrasse 74 a – d consists of 27 residential units and was also planned by the architects Zwischen Raum GmbH. This house is also in the courtyard, but does not enclose the courtyard. The front building belongs to the Munich cooperative Wogeno, the courtyard is designed by both cooperatives. The residential complex has a common room and a guest apartment and is barrier-free.

The residential complex on the site of the former radio barracks in Domagkstrasse will be ready for occupancy in the course of 2015; the address will be in Gertrud-Grunow-Strasse. It was built together with the Wogeno. Of the total of 80 residential units, which are arranged around an inner courtyard, 42 belong to the FrauenWohnen. There will also be common rooms and guest apartments in this residential complex.
