Bremen’s front door for groups, run by the Senatorin für Bau, Mobilität und Stadtentwicklung. It is advice and access, not money — the money is the Wohnraumförderung.
- Koordinierungsstelle für Baugemeinschaften / Gemeinschaftliches Wohnen at the Bau-Senatorin: the state’s contact point for group housing.
- Wohn.Pro is the Beratungsstelle for Orientierungsberatung on gemeinschaftliches Wohnen and on Gruppenbildung — by appointment. It works alongside Netzwerk Wohnprojekte Bremen e.V.
- Newsletter: the standing channel through which the city announces available plots (Grundstücke) and events to registered groups. Signing up is the practical way to hear about land.
- Digitale Kontaktbörse: matching platform for individuals looking for a group, and groups looking for members.
- The Senatorin also points groups to the BREMER FÖRDERLOTSE at BAB, a free advisory service on funding programmes generally.
- Where this matters in the stack: it is the pre-financing stage — group formation, legal-form choice and plot access — before an Interessenbekundung for Wohnraumförderung can be filed.

Detail
- Open question (not a fact): unlike Hamburg, Bremen publishes no rules for how city land reaches a Baugemeinschaft — no quota, no scored Konzeptvergabe, no Anhandgabe period, no stated Erbbaurecht default was findable on bau.bremen.de on 2026-09-10. Whether allocation runs through Immobilien Bremen by Konzeptverfahren or by ordinary sale, and on what criteria, must be asked of the Koordinierungsstelle directly. Do not assume Hamburg-style reservation rights apply.
- Open question (not a fact): whether Wohn.Pro’s advice is free and open-ended, or capped, was not stated on the page.
- Bremen’s Wohnraumförderung lists several completed group projects as reference cases, among them “Blauhaus — gemeinschaftliches und inklusives Wohnen”, “Ellener Hof — Sozial-ökologisches Modellquartier” and “Wohnprojekt Karl”, which shows the funding lines do reach group projects in practice.
