Bavaria’s two youth-housing strands under the BayWoFG. They matter to cohousing because the object is a shared building with communal kitchens and bathrooms, financed per bed space rather than per flat, and the applicant is defined by who holds the land, not by legal form: “Grundstückseigentümer, Erbbauberechtigte oder Erwerber”. A co-op, Verein, gGmbH or Stiftung on a Erbbaurecht plot can therefore be the Bauherr.
Auszubildende (AzubiR 2024):
- Interest-free Baudarlehen (leistungsfreies Baudarlehen) of up to €45,000 per Wohnplatz in a single room and €26,000 per Wohnplatz in a double, at a 25-year Belegungsbindung.
- +€15,000 per wheelchair-accessible place; up to €2,250 per place for sustainable/ecological measures; 30% of eligible cost for parking structures; up to 50% of the cost of a design competition.
- Gates: at least 10 Wohnplätze at the site; rent capped at €260/month per place (€280 in areas of raised demand) plus a furnishing supplement of at most €16/month; 15% Eigenkapital; occupants must be apprentices in recognised trades or vocational-school students, with up to 20% students; an operating permit is required where minors live there.
Studierende:
- Interest-free Baudarlehen up to €45,000 per Wohnplatz at a 25-year binding or €75,000 at a 40-year binding, with the total subsidy capped at 45% (25 yr) or 65% (40 yr) of eligible costs.
- Up to €3,750 per place for sustainability measures, 30% for parking structures. Rent cap €260/month per place, €280 in high-demand areas, up to about €300 on average in Munich.
Apply before start at the Regierung of the Bezirk (or the city for München, Nürnberg, Augsburg); the student strand is handled by Referat 31 of the ministry. No published deadlines.
Open question (not a fact): the exact Richtlinie year and text for the student strand was not retrieved; the apprentice strand is AzubiR 2024. Confirm both before relying on the figures.
