Neues Heim – Die Baugenossenschaft eG is a housing cooperative based in Stuttgart, Germany. It was founded on 17 November 1948 in the Schlotwiese refugee camp by 79 people, many of them displaced Danube Swabians who had settled in the Stuttgart area after the Second World War. 210 Its initial purpose was to help members move from inadequate barracks into decent housing; the first 18 homes, in Stuttgart-Rot, were ready for occupancy in December 1949. 2
The cooperative develops, rents, manages and maintains housing for households in different circumstances and at different income levels. Its main business activity is managing, modernising and developing its own housing stock, including through new construction. 211 The 2022 annual report recorded 1,908 residential units and 18 commercial units, as well as parking spaces. 11
Its properties are located in Stuttgart and the nearby towns of Backnang and Weil der Stadt, making its geographic scope local and regional rather than national. 311 The cooperative also develops neighbourhood projects and shared facilities: its 2022 report, for example, describes a project with 40 rental homes, a day-care nursing service and a community café. 11 Its website highlights further developments in Stuttgart, including the Quartier am Wiener Platz and the IBA’27 project Quartier am Rotweg.
