history
founding
On June 17, 1956, 64 young people founded the workers' housing association "Glück Auf" Gera, Günther Thiel was the first chairman of the cooperative. The aim was to create apartments for the members and their families on their own initiative. The SDAG WISMUT was the sponsoring company for "Glück Auf" . When joining the cooperative, shares amounting to DM 2500 had to be provided within five years as well as personal contributions of working hours in the first two years. In 1957 the first topping-out ceremony took place in Kurt-Keicher-Strasse, and in 1958 36 apartments in the "Glück Auf" family could be occupied. Further new construction projects followed in Herderstrasse, Gagarinstrasse and Berliner Strasse. The AWG der Bauarbeiter Gera was also founded in a wave of new cooperatives being founded. VEB Bau-Union Gera was the sponsoring company, and public education and the consumer trade facility in Gera were connected. On August 1, 1958, the merger with the AWG "Glück Auf" took place. With this step, the number of members of "Glück Auf" increased by 144. At the beginning of 1959 the cooperative had 640 members.
1960s to 1989
One focus of economic development in the early 1960s was the construction of industrial housing. Type projects were developed which enabled the prefabrication of components in large numbers. The apartment type Q6 created the prerequisites for high labor productivity in residential construction for the first time. The “Glück Auf” residential construction sites were downtown Gera, the Bieblacher Hang and Debschwitz .
In the 1970s, in addition to the construction of the residential areas “Südstrasse” (1972) and “Pskower Strasse” (1975), the focus of residential construction was in Lusan . The housing stock of the cooperative increased rapidly, in 1979 the "Glück Auf" counted 4,036 apartments, 73 percent of which were remote-heated .
Due to the government-required orientation of the housing program towards new construction measures, there was a lack of capacities for maintaining the value of apartments. This led to the neglect of the old building in the 1980s. The need for maintenance increased, the housing stock grew to 5,798 apartments by 1989.
After the turn
The gradual increase in the rent level created the prerequisite for cost-covering management of the housing stock after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This "old debts" were, per m on condition of privatization of apartments, to 150 DM 2 limited living space. In the following years, apartments were sold both to owner-occupiers and to the newly founded housing association “Neuer Weg”. In addition to issues relating to the transfer of property, the focus was primarily on renovation and maintenance projects.
After demolishing and dismantling over 1,300 apartments, the cooperative erected its first new building in 20 years at Berliner Straße 7/9 in 2011. In current construction and renovation projects, the housing cooperative relies in particular on barrier-free construction . In this context, the Glück Auf Pflegeservice Pauline GmbH was founded in 2012 by the housing cooperative for the care and support of elderly and disabled people.
