📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Economic Affairs supports model and experimental housing projects as part of the housing offensive. An exemplary project to increase the garage in Karlsruhe is now receiving funding of 700000 euros.As part of the housing offensive the Ministry of Economics is also promoting model and experimental housing projects that are proving to be trend-setting for housing construction. As one of three projects in the first round of funding a project in Karlsruhe to increase the garage space receives funding. State Secretary Katrin Schtz handed over the funding decision in the amount of around 700000 euros to the municipal housing company VOLKSWOHNUNG GmbHand said Our goal is to develop innovative forms of living in the state that can also be transferred to other locations and local conditions. The increase in the garage in Karlsruhe-Rintheim shows that innovation and affordable living can be combined. This relatively simple structural solution activates untapped potential and quickly creates affordable living space. Twelve one- and two-room apartmentsThe garage increase according to plans by architect Falk Schneemann is to be built in 2021 in a VOLKSWOHNUNG GmbH estate in Karlsruhe-Rintheim on Heilbronner Strasse. There garage yards will be topped up with a total of twelve one- and two-room apartments. The result is compact above all socially subsidized rental apartments that are to be made available to students and single parents in particular.The neighborhood experiences a social mix through the new groups of residents. In addition the timber construction from prefabricated components enables a shorter construction time. The movability of the superstructures is also checked. Even in existing settlements there is often potential for creating living space - it often only takes innovative ideas to make them usable said the State Secretary.Innovative power of experimental approachesWith the project VOLKSWOHNUNG is providing an impetus for upgrading the district in its portfolio on Heilbronner Strasse and at the same time achieving a social mix through new groups of residents - because living above the garages is clearly designed for temporary periods of life emphasized the Karlsruhe building mayor and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of VOLKSWOHNUNG Daniel Fluhrer.As part of the Innovativ Wohnen sponsorship we rely on the innovative power of experimental approaches. As a country we are practically sponsoring the selected projects. They are financially supported professionally accompanied networked nationwide and presented to a broad public emphasized Schtz. As a good practice they should be a role model for other players in the housing market and encourage them to tackle their own pioneering projects.The Baden-Wrttemberg Housing OffensiveUnder the umbrella of the Baden-Wrttemberg Housing Offensive the Ministry of Economic Affairs is using various instruments to support municipalities in particular in making more affordable socially mixed and at the same time high-quality housing available.
