history

After it was founded in 1957 on the basis of a city council resolution, the activities of the WBG Fürth were primarily characterized by the development of the western districts of Hardhöhe , Schwand, Eigenes Heim and Oberfürberg , which were separated from the old town of Fürth by the Rednitz , where in the 1960s the tallest residential high-rises in Fürth with 13 to 15 storeys were built. In the second half of the 1970s, public funding for new buildings was discontinued in order to mobilize more funds for the renovation of the old town of Fürth . In the 1980s, the WBG limited itself to the management of existing properties; new building activity was only resumed in the western suburbs in the 1990s, with less intensity.

In 1996 the federal government bought the Kalbsiedlung in the southern part of Fürth after the William O. Darby barracks had been closed by the US armed forces at the end of 1995 . Due to the use of PAH -containing adhesives in the parquet floors and the pesticide residues found in the wall paint and built-in cupboards due to the regular disinfestation of the residential complex , the 1288 apartments renovated here soon become the subject of costly renovation measures and legal disputes that continue to this day.
