Leipzig’s advisory network for cooperative and community housing, created out of the city’s Wohnungspolitisches Konzept (2015) commitment to strengthen kooperative Wohnformen. A Koordinierungsstelle links the largely voluntary member initiatives to the city, working with the Amt für Stadterneuerung und Wohnungsbauförderung.
- Three advice levels: Orientierungsberatung (is this for us?), Konzeptberatung (shaping the project), Fachberatung (specialist questions).
- Marktplatz: Projektbörse and Expertenbörse for finding co-founders and professionals.
- The load-bearing service: it publishes and explains the city’s Konzeptverfahren tenders and issues a written guide to bidding for one, which is the practical route to Leipzig city land.
- Knowledge base: Wohnprojekt 1×1, Mietergemeinschaften, worked project examples, events (Wohnprojektetage, Stadtdialog).
- Not a funder: no money and no land is allocated here.
Open question (not a fact): the size and duration of the city’s financial support for the network was not published on 2026-09-10; the city states an intention to secure and expand the volunteer advisory structures, without a figure.
