history

In 1990 there was the municipal housing company in Schwerin (today WGS) and the Schwerin housing association from 1957 with the large housing estates Großer Dreesch I (today Großer Dreesch ), Großer Dreesch II ( Neu Zippendorf ), Dreesch III ( Mueßer Holz ) and Dreesch IV ( Krebsförden ) with a total of 20,070 apartments, Lankow with 6300 units and Weststadt with 3500 units. The apartments in the prefabricated building were on average around 54 m² and the population density was 200 to 250 inhabitants per hectare.

In 1990, after the fall of the Wall , the communal housing company, which owned around 2/3 of the prefabricated apartment buildings in Schwerin, became a municipal GmbH with around 20,000 residential units. They sold some of their apartments, carried out subsidized renovations for all buildings, had new houses built and carried out some subsidized demolition measures ( urban redevelopment ). She was involved in the urban development programs to improve the living environment and the social city in the large housing estates in the 1990s and 2000s .

In the 2010s, the WGS was able to cope with a tense financial situation due to the high repayments of old debts , the WGS is steadily stabilizing (2018 annual report).
