history

Foundation and beginning

The housing shortage in Lörrach, which continued to have an effect due to the Second World War , was used in 1955 as an opportunity to found a municipal housing company; The city of Mannheim was the model for this . For this reason, the then mayor, Arend Braye , traveled to the northern Baden city in 1955 with a delegation to get an idea of ​​it. In the following year, the Lörrach local council decided to also found a housing association for Lörrach.

With a share capital of 50,000 marks , 49,000 marks from the city and 1,000 marks from the Sparkasse, the founding of the municipal housing company Lörrach mbH was notarized on July 3, 1956 . The first office with three employees was opened in the building of the former Sarasin silk ribbon weaving mill on Bahnhofsplatz. In the founding year, Wohnbau acquired properties in the Neumatt in Stetten . On September 12, 1957, the first rental apartments for 131 people were handed over. The houses then cost 582,000 marks. The balance sheet volume rose from 50,000 to 2.9 million marks. In April 1958, the Wohnbau already owned 674 apartments.

1960s and 1970s

At the beginning of the 1960s, the residential quarters on Schulstrasse and Spitalstrasse, Rebmannsweg, Jahnstrasse and the former Hauinger Strasse (today: Kolpingstrasse) were built. In April 1963, the development of the Salzert residential area began, into which the first tenants can move as early as 1964. Further apartments were built on Leibnizweg in the second half of the 1960s. In 1970 the housing stock grew to 1,419 apartments. In the 1970s, the focus was on the development of the new development area Teichmatten and Mühlestrasse in the Tumringen district . Almost 200 more new apartments were built here, the sober design of which sometimes triggered critical reactions about the quality of the architecture. For this reason, an architecture competition was held for the first time for the residential complex in Gewann Wölblin . In the years 1977 to 1981, 103 apartments were built in this way, which were given the title “Good Buildings” by the Association of German Architects .

In addition to the new building, the company also repeatedly acquired new properties. On September 5, 1974, 478 apartments belonging to the city of Lörrach were taken over. At the end of the 1970s, the residential building had 1,789 apartments.

1980s and 1990s

On July 3, 1981, the groundbreaking ceremony in the Hünerberg-Süd area took place in the presence of the then Minister of the Interior, Roman Herzog . By 1985, 140 new apartments were built along the Ufhabiweg and Sonnenrain. The attempt in 1981 by Wohnbau Lörrach to found a municipal building support and administration GmbH was rejected by the local council. Six years later the project was successful, so that on June 1, 1987 the subsidiary Stadtbau Lörrach was able to start operations. In spring 1984, 60 new, cost-saving buildings were built in the Neumatt-Süd area instead of insufficient apartments. Another 60 apartments were also built in the northern part of the Neumatt area. At the end of the 1980s, additional living space was opened up in Hugenmatt and Tumringen-Süd. Two residential complexes were built on Friedrich-Hecker-Strasse facing the meadow.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the new construction of the old stadium area began with the Stadion residential complex . The award-winning project created 220 apartments and, at 57 million marks, was the largest social housing project in Baden-Württemberg . In 1991, apartments from the company's free float were offered to tenants. The skyscraper of the nurses' home at Kanderner Strasse 14, acquired in 1990, was temporarily rented to the state and used as a temporary residence for German immigrants from Eastern European countries. Apartments were set up there in 1999 and rented out to students at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in Lörrach from 2007 . In 1997 and 1998, apartments were built in the former Schöpflin area in Brombach and in the Stetten-Süd development area on the Swiss border. At the end of the 1990s, Wohnbau Lörrach managed 3,050 apartments.

Since 2000

In May 2000, an extensive renovation program was put in place for the next ten years. The focus of the redevelopment is the Teichmatten, Salzert, Neumatt, Leibnizweg and Kolpingstrasse quarters. As of July 16, 2000, Wohnbau Lörrach will manage 550 apartments on behalf of Städtische Wohnbau Schopfheim. Renovation work began on some of these apartments in 2002. From December 2000, the Lörrach Innovation Center ( Innocel ) will be built on the site of the former KBC hand printing building . Around the same time, urban development in the inner-city quarter on Chesterplatz was pushed ahead. Around six million euros will be invested in the 12-storey high-rise on the square there. In 2005, 14 condominiums in the high-rise were completed.

In 2006, Wohnbau Lörrach bought 128 rental apartments on Pestalozzistraße and on the arches of Konrad-Adenauer-Straße and set up a kindergarten and crèche for the family center. The 44 workers' houses in Teichstrasse, which are more than 100 years old, were renovated from October 2007. The renovation project received the Socially Integrative City Prize in 2010 . In November 2007, Städtische Wohnbau Schopfheim merged with Wohnbau Lörrach. The city of Lörrach became the majority shareholder with 81.8 percent. The merger was also Germany's first between municipal housing companies in two cities. In the following years there were renovations in Schopfheim. In 2011, the work on Belchenstrasse was completed and four houses in Gündenhausen will follow.

The area between Dammstrasse and the railway embankment in Stetten was to be completely renewed within five years. Work on this began in spring 2013 by laying new floor slabs for the first of the new houses. In the same year, 87 apartments and one guest apartment will be ready for occupancy in the Niederfeldplatz residential area . The facility is the first climate-neutral rental residential area in Germany.

In 2017, the corner house in Gretherstraße / Schwarzwaldstraße with 32 apartments was converted into shared accommodation for refugees. In autumn 2014, the work on the renovation project in Leibnizweg was almost completed and the groundbreaking ceremony for the 57 meter high, 17-storey apartment tower Weitblick with 20 condominiums. Werner Sobek carried out the structural planning and received the Hugo Häring award in 2017 .

In the city center, the "Sonne" house on the old market square was acquired and completely renovated. It was now used as a residential building, by a bookstore and as the domicile of the city's culture and tourism department and for tourist information.
