WW Wohnwagon GmbH, headquartered in Gutenstein near Vienna, Austria, was founded in 2013 by Theresa Steininger and is led by CEO Lothar Stadler. The company originated out of a desire to challenge consumerism and unsustainable construction methods and has become a prominent producer of tiny houses in German-speaking Europe. Its first prototype was financed through crowdfunding, raising over €200,000, and marked the start of its rapid growth.
WW Wohnwagon specializes in manufacturing self-sufficient wooden houses using regional natural building materials. Its offerings include high-quality tiny houses, modular homes, and custom-designed solid wood buildings ranging from 30 to 500 square meters. The modules are prefabricated and can be fully equipped on request, allowing for swift assembly—typically in about four days.
In more than ten years of operation, the company has sold over 130 tiny houses, with a notable clientele comprising young couples seeking alternatives to debt-financed large homes and older couples downsizing. Full-time living in these houses is common; about 70 percent of customers reside year-round in their Wohnwagons. Prices span from €100,000 to €200,000 per unit.
The company also develops vacation apartments, wood-based residential solutions for the elderly, and collaborates on economic and ecological projects in natural locations. Notable recent projects include tiny barber shops, mobile offices, hotels, and mobile restaurants, illustrating the diverse scope of applications for Wohnwagon’s modules. WW Wohnwagon operates with approximately thirty employees and has received several industry awards, such as the German Dream House Award, in recognition of its sustainable building solutions.
