The company was founded in June 1928 as Gemeinnützige Wohnungsfürsorge AG on the initiative of Karl Sebastian Preis , the then head of the Munich Housing and Settlement Department and City Councilor of the Munich SPD . Under his leadership, the company built around 11,000 new apartments in the following years, which alleviated the housing shortage in Munich at the time.

Preis saw art in architecture as an important part of the new settlements and had frescoes and reliefs attached to the house walls. The spacious inner courtyards of the GEWOFAG founder settlements were equipped with fountains and sculptures.
