Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Bauverein Giesing eG, based at Agilofinger Platz 3 in Munich, has played a significant role in shaping the residential character of the Giesing district since its founding on June 18, 1910. The cooperative manages a portfolio of 1,121 apartments and 34 commercial properties, reflecting continuous growth from its original eleven founding members. With around 1,500 cooperative members, the organisation focuses on providing secure and solid housing—both in extensively renovated historic buildings and in new constructions.
Historically, the cooperative’s objective has centered on enabling “good and secure living.” Over its more than 100-year history, Bauverein Giesing eG has expanded and adapted its housing stock, implementing targeted modernizations and densification projects to respond to changing housing needs in Munich’s Ober- and Untergiesing quarters.
A notable characteristic is the in-house maintenance capability, provided by its subsidiary, BV Giesing Servicegesellschaft mbH, which employs skilled carpenters and painters. These services are available both to cooperative members and external clients, contributing to routine maintenance and renovations.
Recent activities include foundational energy-saving initiatives and continuous stock renewal; however, the organisation currently has no available apartments, demonstrating high demand and the stable occupancy of its properties. Through a mix of heritage preservation and modernization, Bauverein Giesing eG remains a visible and stable actor within Munich’s cooperative housing landscape.
