The Mülheim housing eG (MET) is a housing association and a real estate service provider based in Mülheim an der Ruhr . It emerged from a savings and construction association founded in 1898 by Protestant citizens and workers. Today MWB manages around 5,000 of its own apartments and also manages over 2,000 third-party properties. Around 9,000 people are members of the housing association.
history
The savings and construction association of Protestant citizens and workers was founded on June 22nd, 1898 under the leadership of August Kirchberg . The housing stock and the number of members grew steadily over three decades.
The study commissioned by Adolf Hitler decreed DC circuit , the savings and Building Association in 1942 had the 1920 in Hot based savings and cooperative home Mülheim for cooperative unite Mülheim housing. The merger was part of a wave of forced mergers, with the help of which the National Socialists formed regional monopoly cooperatives as part of their policy of harmonization, which were led by their party members and shop stewards. After World War II, addressing the housing shortage was an accepted priority. With the second Housing Act of 1956, housing benefits and building society savings were introduced. The building boom of the 1950s also led to the establishment of the Social Housing Association ( SWB ), initiated by Mayor Heinrich Thöne , in 1951 , which MWB led until 1966.
From 1968 to 1976 the total assets of the Mülheim housing cooperative grew from 48 to 95 million marks. However, the building boom was followed by a phase of stagnation as early as the second half of the 1970s, marked by significantly higher building and land prices and a simultaneous decline in population numbers. In the 1980s, the cooperative had to forego new construction projects due to a lack of public funding and concentrate entirely on modernizing its housing stock. In the 1980s, the cooperative invested several million marks every year in the modernization of its apartments in order to be able to compete for the now declining number of residents and tenants.
On January 1, 1990, non-profit housing construction companies in Germany lost their tax-exempt non-profit status, but at the same time were given more leeway for their financial planning and contract drafting. Although MWB once again made use of the tax exemption as a pure rental company for 1991, it opted for tax liability in 1990. In 1994 the cooperative founded the Mülheimer housing, care and management company, a limited liability company, in which the areas were bundled that went beyond the core business of the cooperative and were therefore subject to trade tax . At the same time, the cooperative adapted its structures to the new framework conditions. The business areas of the companies they founded in 1994 included buying, selling and developing undeveloped land, building, buying and managing a wide variety of properties, as well as providing economic and technical support for construction projects.
Above all, the lack of inexpensive rental apartments and increased immigration from the countries of the Eastern Bloc , which collapsed in 1990, led to an increased demand for housing in the early 1990s. When MWB celebrated its 100th birthday in 1998 with 14 tenant parties and an exhibition in the Sparkasse, around 10,000 people from Mülheim lived in their 4,379 apartments.
In 2002, the Mülheim housing cooperative and its head office moved from the headquarters on Adolfstraße, which had long since become too small, to an office and commercial building that it had converted for 2.2 million euros on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and thus into the historic city center Mülheims.
The cooperative set an accent for the Mülheim business location that attracted public attention by acquiring and renovating the former Thyssen headquarters on Wiesenstrasse. So where the brothers August and Josef Thyssen once controlled their industrial empire, the House of Mülheim Business was opened in 2005 and marketed together with the Mülheim & Business business development agency. Today, not only do the Mülheim business promoters work in the Haus der Wirtschaft, but also young company founders. In addition, the Mülheim Entrepreneur Museum tells about the pioneers of the Mülheim economy. In 2003 the strategic urban development project " Ruhrbania " started in Mülheim an der Ruhr under the motto "City on the river". A central component of this strategy is the Ruhr district right next to the Mülheim town hall: the project consists of three clearly structured structures with condominiums and rental apartments as well as commercial and restaurant areas and connects the Mülheim city center with the Ruhr promenade.
As general planner, MWB also took on the construction of the stationary hospice, which opened on Friedrichstrasse in November 2012. One of the central building measures for the public infrastructure that the Mülheim housing cooperative carried out in 2011 together with the Sparkasse as part of the SMW project development company founded in 2006 was the completion of the new fire and rescue station on the former federal railway site on Duisburger Strasse.
The StadtQuartier Schloßstraße project with a gross floor area of around 50,000 square meters, which the Mülheim housing cooperative, together with its partners AIP and Fortress , presented to the public in June 2015 , also appears pioneering for the further development of the inner city .
