Der Kesselhof is a community-led, intergenerational housing project in Botnang, a district of Stuttgart, Germany. It adapts the Mietshäuser Syndikat model: the property is held as collective ownership rather than private real estate, keeping it outside the open property market.1
The project involves renovating and converting two and a half existing buildings, with a courtyard and garden, to provide affordable housing for about 15 adults and children. Its renovation plan aims to retain the character of the building ensemble while adapting it to the needs of the resident community.1 The site was formerly a steam laundry; in 2017, five founders bought the property and initiated its conversion into housing.11
Residents govern the project themselves, with shared use and participation among its stated priorities.1 The project’s organisational structure includes Kesselhof e.V. and Bohaus GmbH, under the Mietshäuser Syndikat model.36 The project page names Kesselhof e.V. as the contact organisation.1 Architectural design and planning were handled by AMUNT Nagel Theissen; the listed construction managers were Guido Reicherter and Jan Theissen, also of that office.1
