Living Quarter GmbH

What Living Quarter GmbH does

Living Quarter GmbH is a Berlin-based social services and facility management company founded in 2015 by Sebastian Schwarzer and Dennis Abraham, both serving as Geschäftsführer. The company operates as a Business-to-Government (B2G) service provider for German municipalities, counties (Landkreise), and federal states (Bundesländer), managing asylum shelters, refugee housing, women's shelters, and homeless assistance facilities across multiple regions of Germany. The organization employs approximately 32 staff and positions itself under the public-facing #gesellschaftlichwertvoll (socially valuable) mission framework.

The company's core product is its social-services delivery platform, anchored by a proprietary "Bewohnermanager" (Resident Manager System) used to standardize resident documentation and operations across shelter locations. Supporting infrastructure is conventional: Hetzner for hosting, Microsoft Teams for internal communications, and Google Analytics alongside Matomo for web analytics. The technology footprint is functional rather than differentiated, and there is no evidence of AI/ML capabilities in the disclosed stack. Service portfolio has expanded beyond asylum housing to include women's shelters, homeless assistance, youth programs, de-escalation training, and federal volunteer service (BFD) coordination, indicating vertical broadening within the German social-services market.

Revenue is generated through managed-services contracts won via public procurement tenders with German municipal and state authorities. Per-resident-day reimbursement structures common in German shelter contracts are the likely pricing mechanism, though no contract values, revenue figures, or pricing schedules are disclosed. The company has not announced any external funding rounds, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships beyond standard vendor relationships, and its financial scale can only be inferred indirectly from headcount and multi-state footprint.
