The housing company Plauen mbH (WbG for short), as the communal housing company of the city of Plauen, takes on the task of public welfare in relation to housing.
history
In the unification agreement of 1990, the city of Plauen was obliged to have its communal apartments run privately from now on. The non-profit housing company was then founded in the summer of 1990. Since then, the city of Plauen has been the sole shareholder of WbG Plauen GmbH. When it was founded in 1990, the WbG held 15,198 apartments. Sale and dismantling have reduced it by approx. 48% to this day. Around 340 million euros have been invested in the modernization and maintenance of apartments and the surrounding area since it was founded . During the renovation of Karlstrasse 22/24 in 2008/09, geothermal energy was used for the first time as a type of heating for an apartment building in Plauen and was used repeatedly in other projects in the following years. With the renovation of Dittesstrasse 60 in 2009, the first senior citizen's home was built in Plauen.
Business activity
With 8,272 apartments and 178 commercial units, WbG Plauen mbH is one of the largest landlords in this area of the Vogtland . An average of 39 employees and one trainee take care of the rental and management of the residential and commercial properties.
The properties of the WbG are spread over almost the entire city area. In addition to prefabricated and large block buildings in the Chrieschwitzer Hang and Mammen, Seehaus and Dörffel areas, there are around 1,800 apartments that were built in monolithic construction between 1946 and 1989, around 720 old apartments (built before 1945) and around 45 apartments built after 1990 to the portfolio of the municipal landlord.
The WbG fulfills tasks in three different areas for the city of Plauen. On the one hand, it takes over the public services of general interest for the city of Plauen with regard to living space. This means that the WbG must provide safe and affordable living space for all citizens, especially the socially disadvantaged and disadvantaged. These groups would hardly have a chance on the private housing market due to their increased need for advice and the support they need in maintaining and structuring life. On the other hand, it is the task of the WbG in the area of urban development to ensure a safe and functioning housing market for all providers. In addition, the creation and maintenance of functioning urban structures is an important task of the WbG. It takes on economically difficult projects to create a livable city for the residents. These include, for example, new buildings in the old town of Plauen to close gaps in construction due to the war or the renovation of public facilities.
The Plauen WbG has also committed itself to participating in urban redevelopment east . Between 2002 and 2009, the WbG tore down a total of 1,489 apartments. In addition to the demolition of complete apartment blocks, the WbG also relied on the horizontal or vertical partial demolition under inhabited conditions. During the vertical demolition, individual house entrances were broken out of a coherent, longer block, as happened, for example, in Dr.-E.-Stadler-Straße. In the horizontal demolition, however, one or more floors were removed. In this way, popular residential locations with improved living quality could be retained, as the house communities were reduced in size and unattractive apartments on the third to fifth floors were taken off the market due to the lack of a lift. The partial dismantling made it possible to loosen up buildings and upgrade the residential area. The WbG was looking for ways to put the demolition material to good use. In 2006, a single-family house in the bungalow style was built from intact demolition slabs in a pilot project, which was then rented out. In addition, intact demolition plates were used in the Plauen stadium for a social building for the local football club VFC .
