Netzwerk Immovielien e.V.

What Netzwerk Immovielien e.V. does

Netzwerk Immovielien e.V. is a German nonprofit association (Eingetragener Verein) founded on 18 June 2018 in Berlin, with its registered seat in Hattingen (Ruhr) and a coordination office (Koordinierungsstelle) in Berlin-Neukölln. It operates as a membership-based network that promotes "Immovielien" — a coined term for real estate developed and designed by many for many — across all 16 German federal states and into Austria, serving grassroots housing and neighborhood initiatives, planners and consultants, ethics-focused banks, foundations, and academic researchers engaged in commons-oriented urban development.

Its portfolio is non-technological and centered on community formats rather than software products: the recurring "Immovielien-Austausch" and "Pitch & Plausch" peer-exchange formats, annual Netzwerktreffen gatherings, the Co-Forschung joint research initiative with Utopiastadt, transzent (University of Wuppertal) and the Wuppertal Institute, plus a publication suite (Immovielien-Hefte, Forderungen 2.0, Arbeitshilfen) and the Immovielien-Sammlung and Immovielien-Karte project directories. Distribution runs through the website, newsletter, social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram), and co-produced events with wohnbund e.V., FORUM Gemeinschaftliches Wohnen, Stiftung trias, and the Montag Stiftung Urbane Räume.

The revenue model is dual: annual membership dues on a solidarity tier (minimum 30 EUR for individuals up to 10,000 EUR for banks, with sliding scales for initiatives, offices, and foundations) plus donations. The organization is governed by a five-member volunteer Vorstand (Benedikt Altrogge, Claudia Bosseler, Antje Bruno, Dorothea Heintze, Larisa Tsvetkova) and an advisory Beirat, with day-to-day operations handled by the small paid Koordinierungsstelle. There is no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no external equity funding; the association operates autonomously from member contributions and project-based support.

Others

• GLS Gemeinschaftsbank eG: German ethics-focused cooperative bank that is both a member of and the association account holder for Netzwerk Immovielien, with staff serving on its board. Comparable as a financial-sector partner in the commons-oriented real-estate ecosystem rather than a direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Bündnis bezahlbarer Wohnraum: Coalition of civil-society actors advocating for affordable housing in Germany. Comparable as a peer advocacy coalition pursuing overlapping policy goals; differs in being a broader alliance rather than a thematic network.
• Netzwerk Zukunftsorte e.V. German network of community-oriented rural development places. Comparable as a peer network partnering with Netzwerk Immovielien on rural-community projects (e.g., Heimat 2.0 in Angermünde), with partial overlap on community real-estate but a stronger rural focus.

Broad incumbents

• GdW Bundesverband deutscher Wohnungs- und Immobilienunternehmen: German federal association of housing and real-estate companies representing the mainstream (often for-profit) housing sector. Comparable as a peer national real-estate association but serving incumbent industry actors rather than commons-oriented initiatives.
• Habitat for Humanity Germany: German branch of the international Habitat for Humanity network addressing affordable housing and community development. Comparable as a peer nonprofit working on community-oriented housing, with broader scope and significantly larger resources than Netzwerk Immovielien.

Direct peers

• Montag Stiftung Urbane Räume: German foundation for urban spaces that catalyzed the founding of Netzwerk Immovielien via the 2016 Leipzig convention. Directly comparable as a peer ecosystem-builder advancing community-oriented urban and real-estate development through programs, funding, and discourse.
• FORUM Gemeinschaftliches Wohnen e.V., Bundesvereinigung: Federal German association for community housing that collaborates with Netzwerk Immovielien on events and advocacy. Directly comparable as a peer national membership network serving overlapping member segments of housing initiatives, advisors, and policymakers.
• wohnbund e.V. Long-standing German association of consultants, planners, and organizations focused on community-oriented housing. Directly comparable as a peer membership network collaborating with Netzwerk Immovielien on positions and joint publications, including joint statements on the non-profitability of new housing.
• Stiftung trias: German foundation focused on land, ecology, and housing, working to remove land from speculative markets. Core partner of Netzwerk Immovielien that hosts its board and collaborates on publications; comparable as a peer organization driving commons-oriented real-estate practice from a foundation rather than membership model.
• Miethäuser Syndikat: Decentralized network of self-organized housing projects that removes property from speculative markets via a Solidarfonds. Directly comparable because it pursues the same commons-oriented real-estate objective through a different governance and financing structure, and competes for similar activist members.
