hanova WOHNEN GmbH is a municipal housing company based in Hannover, Germany. Its roots date to 1927, when it was established as the Gemeinnützige Baugesellschaft Hannover; it adopted its current name in 2018. 112 The company’s registered office is at Otto-Brenner-Straße 4, 30159 Hannover. 4
Its core role is providing housing for residents of Hannover, with an emphasis on affordable and socially responsible rents. 27 Its activities include building, acquiring, maintaining, managing and administering residential properties, as well as undertaking work related to property, urban development and infrastructure. 7 The company’s operational focus is Hannover and the wider Hannover region, rather than a national or international housing market. 7
The company’s website reports 15,500 homes, 560 employees across hanova, 5,500 parking spaces, 160 electric-vehicle charging points and €60 million in investment in the existing housing stock. 1 These figures are presented as hanova-wide numbers on a page that also covers the hanova group, so they should not all be assumed to describe hanova WOHNEN alone. 1 Karsten Klaus is listed as the company’s managing director. 4
