VEBOWAG – Vereinigte Bonner Wohnungsbau AG is a municipally oriented housing company based in Bonn, Germany. Its stated purpose is to provide affordable housing in the city, and the City of Bonn holds a 93% majority shareholding. 1
The company’s origins date to 18 April 1950, when local tradespeople established the Gemeinnützige Bonner Wohnungsaktiengesellschaft (GEBOWAG) amid post-war housing shortages and Bonn’s new role as the federal capital. In 1970, housing companies from Beuel and Bad Godesberg were combined with it under the VEBOWAG name. 1
VEBOWAG reports having 6,749 of its own homes in 2025, with approximately 2,700 subject to rent and occupancy restrictions under North Rhine-Westphalia state schemes. Its work includes developing accessible homes and planning new residential buildings to the Efficiency House 55 standard. 1 Beyond housing provision, it says it supports neighbourhood initiatives and events and offers advice to tenants. 1
Its activities are local in focus: the company describes its role as providing housing in Bonn, and its housing portfolio and neighbourhood work are presented in that context. 1 The current official website lists its central office at Godesberger Allee 20, 53175 Bonn. 1
