Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Frankfurt (Oder) eG

What Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Frankfurt (Oder) eG does

Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Frankfurt (Oder) eG, operating under the brand WohnBau Frankfurt, is a registered German housing cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft) founded in 1892 and headquartered in Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg. It is one of the largest and most renowned housing cooperatives in the state of Brandenburg, managing approximately 6,500 residential apartments, around 100 commercial and office spaces, and 1,500 parking spots and garages. The cooperative owns and operates its housing stock for the benefit of its members, who lease the apartments and hold governance rights through the Vertreterversammlung (representatives' assembly). More than half of the residential portfolio has been fully renovated, with modern electrical systems, elevators, and energy-efficient upgrades.

The cooperative's service portfolio extends beyond core rental housing to include a Seniorenservice team providing mobility assistance and emergency response, a Sozialmanagement offering social counseling and care coordination, a guest apartment (Gästewohnung), online damage reporting, and a tenant portal (Mieterportal) for self-service. Specialized housing products include student apartments starting from €210 per month in total rent near the university, senior-friendly housing, and the multi-partner 'Bündnis für mehr Glück' network with Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe, AWO, and Piepenbrock for coordinated elderly care. Community engagement is delivered through a bi-annual tenant magazine (WohnGut), courtyard festivals (Hoffest), stairwell music events (Treppenhausmusik), and cultural sponsorship including the 'Kunst im Vorbeigehen' art initiative.

The business model is membership-based rental housing: tenants become cooperative members by acquiring share capital, and lease revenue funds ongoing portfolio maintenance, modernization, and social services. Distribution is fully direct — through the company website, physical office, and tenant portal — with no intermediary channels. Marketing is community-oriented via Facebook, Instagram, the WohnGut magazine, and local event sponsorships. The cooperative is governed by a two-tier board structure (Vorstand and Aufsichtsrat), with Olaf Runge and Dirk Oeltjen serving on the Vorstand and Andreas M. Weber as Chairman of the Aufsichtsrat, and is audited by BBU Verband Berlin-Brandenburgischer Wohnungsunternehmen e.V. The company is private, member-owned, and operates exclusively within Brandenburg, Germany.
