history
As a result of industrialization in the 19th century, the number of residents in Lübeck rose sharply and there was a lack of living space. In 1892, the Lübeck ship broker Heinrich Gaedertz presented the director of the “Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities” in Lübeck with a donation of 8,000 marks on the condition that the money was to be used to promote the construction of cheap workers' apartments. It was the start-up capital for the cooperative founded by the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities and the “Industrieverein”, which was then called the “Lübecker Gemeinnütziger Bauverein” registered cooperative.
On June 3, 1892, the cooperative was the first housing company in Lübeck to be entered in the cooperative register; it had 152 members. Their goal was to build apartments at affordable rents for socially disadvantaged sections of the population. By looking for suitable building land in the immediate vicinity of the workplaces of the future residents, difficulties should be avoided that were due to the then inadequate transport links. For this reason, proximity to the port, the railroad and the factories were preferred. After a long search, the construction of three residential buildings with a total of 15 apartments on Ludwigstrasse in Lübeck-St. Lorenz -Nord started. The buildings were completed in the summer of 1894. In the years 1923/1924 another building association was founded, the "Bauverein Selbsthilfe", which despite the global economic crisis between 1926 and 1935 was able to build a total of 169 residential, 6 single-family houses and 75 multi-storey houses with 634 apartments, before the two building associations were merged in 1940. The reason for the merger was the town planning pursued by the Nazi regime at the time, which provided for the post-war period to develop smaller building cooperatives and associations into more efficient companies under the control of the NSDAP .
After the end of the Second World War there was a great housing shortage in Lübeck due to the destruction of the war and the refugees from eastern Germany. The population in Lübeck rose within one year from around 190,000 (January 1945) to around 300,000 (January 1946). Lübeck became the most populated city in northern Germany with refugees. The revitalization of the building cooperatives was also necessary for the reconstruction . In July 1945, the later mayor of Lübeck, Otto Passarge, took over the management of the cooperative again. Due to the poor economic situation, major new construction measures that could have helped alleviate the housing shortage were initially ruled out. An improvement for the financing of publicly subsidized housing construction came with the 1st Housing Act of April 24, 1950, the aim of which was the nationwide construction of 1.8 million apartments. One of the most important foundations for the public financing of these building projects was the agreement reached between the USA and the Federal Republic on economic cooperation within the framework of the Marshall Plan , which was able to provide financial means that were used to expand the economy and housing construction. In 1960 the Lübeck cooperative already had 1,663 members and 1,544 apartments.
In 1981/82 the entire industrial estate was acquired from the bankruptcy assets of the former metalworks in Lübeck , extensively modernized and offered to tenants for sale. In 1988 the cooperative took over 690 rental apartments from the economically troubled " Neue Heimat Nord " housing company into its own portfolio or into the administration. At the beginning of the 1990s, a further 346 apartments were added from the liquidated fund assets.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in the early 1990s, there was again a need for around 7,000 new apartments. With the participation in two conversion measures called "Waldersee" and "Cambrai", the construction of a new residential area in Kücknitz / Herrenwyk and the expansion to Northwest Mecklenburg, the housing stock increased by a further 1,450 apartments.
In 1999 residential district renovation began in many parts of Lübeck. As part of a pilot measure in Lübeck-St. Jürgen , the general modernization of the total of 545 apartments took place in the Robert-Koch-Straße quarter. After demolishing a block of flats with 254 apartments, a new building with a total of 262 contemporary and family-friendly apartments was built here.
