Wohnungs- und Baugenossenschaft "Mieterschutz" eG

The Wohnungs- und Baugenossenschaft »Mieterschutz« eG was founded in 1925 on the initiative of the Mieterverein Köln e.V.. Since its founding, the company has been dedicated to creating affordable and contemporary living space for its members. The cooperative combines tradition with a modern orientation and has continuously developed.

The main mission of the cooperative is to provide its members with affordable and modern apartments. It places great emphasis on creating a sustainable and communal housing structure. The dedicated work of the members has contributed significantly to the continuous development of the company.

• Cooperative Apartments: The cooperative offers its members the opportunity to live in their own apartments, which are both affordable and modernly equipped.
• Homes: In addition, the cooperative has built numerous homes in its history, which serve as permanent housing options for members.

Although specific sustainability goals are not directly mentioned, the continuous development and focus on members show that the company strives for long-term and ecologically responsible solutions. The creation of affordable housing and the promotion of communal living are important components of the sustainability strategy.

The cooperative has a long and eventful history. In the first years after its founding, the first cooperative apartments and homes were built. Before the Second World War, the cooperative had already built up a housing stock of almost 800 units. During the war, about 70% of the stock was destroyed, but this did not prevent the cooperative from continuing to develop and meet new challenges[4].

The Wohnungs- und Baugenossenschaft »Mieterschutz« eG is an important part of the housing industry in Köln and is committed to the interests of its members by providing affordable and modern living space. Through the dedicated commitment of its members, the company remains constantly on the path of further development and adaptation to current housing needs.
