Community housing projects

Shared housing projects are no longer a rarity. Weimar and Leipzig are two municipalities in the immediate vicinity of Jena where housing projects have already been established. Shared housing projects are an expression of lively and diverse residential landscapes that offer people different options as to how and with whom they want to live.

In Jena, however, there was no communal housing project for a long time, a fact that led to a decision by the city council a few years ago. You can find the city council resolution under Downloads. Based on this decision, the city administration commissioned Stadtverwicklung gGmbH together with the Housing and Neighborhood Development team in December 2025 to set up a process to launch a community housing project and thus establish the topic in our city.

Following a successful series of events organized by ÜAG last year, there has been increased interest in the topic in Jena.

The city of Jena wants to promote communal housing projects at an organizational level in future and make them more visible. The aim is firstly to raise awareness of this form of housing and secondly to award a specific property as part of a concept award. The tender for this, which is to be published by 2027 at the latest, will be explicitly aimed at project groups that would like to realize a communal housing project.

Over the next two years, the planning office Stadtverwicklung gGmbH will support the city administration in identifying suitable public land and removing legal and organizational hurdles. The concept award resulting from this process will be professionally supported by the office and handled by the city's own municipal real estate company Kommunale Immobilien Jena (KIJ).

If you are interested in staying informed about the planned concept award and associated events, you can register for the mailing list by sending an e-mail to wohnprojekte@jena.de. It is important that in this e-mail you grant us and Stadtverwicklung gGmbH the right to contact you with news about the project.
