Lower Saxony homestead

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lower Saxony homestead was established one in the early 1920s and especially in Lower operating housing companies . As a company with limited liability and its communal and shareholders from the banking sector, the company saw itself as an "organ of state housing policy ", which was supposed to provide healthy and at the same time inexpensive living space for the less well-off. In the mid-1950s, the company was based at Lavesstrasse 59 in Hanover's Mitte district .

history

The Lower Saxony homestead was founded after the First World War in 1922 shortly before the peak of German hyperinflation . The decisive co-founder and chairman was Wilhelm Liebrecht , who had already strongly promoted the cooperative system in housing construction before the First World War.

At the time of National Socialism , Fischbeck Abbey had to "give 1.5 hectares of land to the Lower Saxony home at a discount price in 1939 ".

The primary goal of the Lower Saxony Home Office, formulated later, was above all to help low -income people - such as low-wage earners - to get healthy and inexpensive new housing in both cities and in the countryside . The target groups also included construction and settlement - cooperatives and - companies , but also individuals and working people . After the Second World War , displaced persons from East Germany were the focus of the Lower Saxony Homestead.

In the post-war period , the organization helped to set up group and individual settlements, for example by procuring building land , but also by providing financial and technical support for those in need of building new rental apartments or own homes in accordance with the regulations of the Reichsheimstätte , but especially in setting up small settlements.

Since the currency reform in West Germany in 1948 until the mid-1950s, the Lower Saxony home town had completed around 30,000 apartments.

In total, the company looked after around 60,000 apartments by the mid-1950s; 40,000 of these as measures to procure property in homes and small settlements.

In addition to the head office in Hanover - around 1955 at Lavesstrasse 39 A - the Heimstätte had branch offices in Aurich , Bremerhaven , Celle , Emden , Gifhorn , Goslar , Hittfeld , Leer , Lingen , Lüneburg , Nienburg / Weser , Northeim , Oldenburg (Oldb) , Osnabrück , Salzgitter-Bad , Soltau , Syke , Uelzen and Wolfsburg .

The company's successor was the Lower Saxony State Development Company (NILEG) based in Hanover.
