The Kleefeld-Buchholz eG housing cooperative was founded in 1894 and, with more than 7,100 members, is one of the largest housing cooperatives in Hanover . Its portfolio includes a total of 4,284 apartments, 64 commercial units and 653 garages in 508 houses. The majority of the cooperative's apartments are located in the east of Hanover in the Buchholz-Kleefeld district . In 2016, the cooperative took the decision to expand its investment radius to the surrounding area of the Hanover region . Since 2018, newly built properties in the city of Laatzen , south of Hanover, have also been part of the cooperative's portfolio. Further new building projects will be realized in Hanover over the next two years.

history

At the end of the 19th century, Hanover developed into a major city under city director Heinrich Tramm . As a result, living space became increasingly scarce and social problems worsened.

This state of emergency prompted the Kleefeld shoemaker Heinrich Schaper to call a “public assembly” on March 18, 1894. Kleefelder Baugenossenschaft eGmbH was founded, began its work under the chairmanship of Heinrich Schaper and soon had more than 330 members. It was their aim to "improve the situation of the members in terms of their housing, to make them independent of greedy landlords and to give them security from exploitation".

The workers and craftsmen who set up the non-profit building and savings association Hannover-Buchholz eGmbH in 1905 also wanted to achieve this. They also wanted to settle in the vicinity of the factories they had relocated to the outskirts.

A little over a year and a half after the Kleefelder Baugenossenschaft was founded, the first tenants were able to move into nine new apartments at Tieckstrasse 13. By 1914, 27 more houses followed with a total of 222 apartments, three shops and a post room. In Buchholz there were already 31 houses with 229 apartments, a bakery, a slaughterhouse, an inn and a sales point.

After the end of the First World War, both housing associations experienced an upswing. This was only stopped by the economic crisis of the 1930s. The building activity, which had been so brisk up until then, came to a complete standstill. Only from 1935 and until the outbreak of the Second World War were a total of 120 houses built again in Kleefeld and Buchholz. In 1943, the Kleefelder Baugenossenschaft eGmbH, which had previously taken over the Siedlungskameradschaft Deutsche Arbeit and the Heimstätten Bau- und Spargenossenschaft, merged with the non-profit Bau- und Sparverein Hannover-Buchholz eGmbH - the Kleefeld-Buchholz eG housing association was created.

After the end of the war, the reconstruction of the damaged houses began. Until the currency reform on June 20, 1948, a number of the apartments of the housing association were occupied by bombed out and displaced persons and some of them were confiscated by the occupying powers. During this time the cooperative had 5685 members and owned 2408 apartments. Further new buildings were built in Kleefeld and Buchholz, and at the beginning of the 1960s in Misburg and Langenhagen . 123 houses were built by 1981. The portfolio now includes more than 4,400 apartments. The following decades concentrated on the maintenance and modernization of the existing houses.

Housing and building stock

The housing stock of the cooperative is mainly divided between districts in the east of Hanover. There are also two townhouses in Laatzen , a town south of Hanover:

Since 2006, the Kleefeld-Buchholz housing stock has been modernized and refurbished step by step with balcony extensions, thermal insulation and facade coatings. In addition, Kleefeld-Buchholz is building new houses. There are three tenants' meeting places in Kleefeld, Buchholz and Misburg as an accompanying service, as well as an additional office at Klopstockstrasse 1. The company has also set up nine guest apartments. As a result of extensive modernization, the cooperative has been able to show that the entire portfolio has been fully let since 2009. Supported by the basic idea of ​​personal responsibility and self-administration, it always has the needs of its members in mind. The central concern is to offer people attractive apartments in a social, friendly neighborhood.
