Verband Wohnen im Kreis Starnberg

What Verband Wohnen im Kreis Starnberg does

Verband Wohnen im Kreis Starnberg is a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (public law corporation) founded in March 1950 as a Zweckverband (special-purpose association) to deliver social housing in the Landkreis Starnberg, Bavaria. It is owned and governed by 13 member municipalities (Andechs, Berg, Feldafing, Gauting, Gilching, Herrsching, Inning, Krailling, Pöcking, Seefeld, Tutzing, Weßling, Wörthsee) plus the Landkreis Starnberg itself. The organization manages a portfolio of approximately 2,500 rental apartments distributed across the district, comprising both publicly subsidized social housing (allocated via municipal Vorschlagslisten and Wohnberechtigungsschein eligibility) and privately financed market-rate units. The portfolio is supplemented by barrier-free assisted-living facilities (Betreutes Wohnen) in ten municipalities since 2002 and by underground and surface parking spaces. Supporting tenant services include damage reporting, housing benefit applications, downloadable forms, and a 24/7 emergency contact directory.

The revenue model is fundamentally subscription-recurring: monthly rental payments from tenants form the dominant income stream, supplemented by parking rentals (EUR 55-71/month depending on tenant status and location), service charges, and a regulated three-month security deposit. Social housing rents follow government-mandated income-based limits; market-rate units are priced below the private-market average. The go-to-market is hybrid: subsidized units flow through community referral lists and Landratsamt-issued eligibility certificates, while market-rate and assisted-living units are rented directly upon municipal application. Distribution relies on the official website (www.verband-wohnen.de), LinkedIn, and embedded institutional relationships rather than paid advertising. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, and no app; digital tools are limited to standard web forms. Leadership comprises Verbandsvorsitzender Rupert Steigenberger and Geschäftsführer Christian Stumpf, with the organization actively recruiting additional senior leaders in finance and construction/project development as of 2026.
