Renovating for a new home

  • Ticket shop.

Most of the houses in the Fuggerei date from the reconstruction period after the Second World War, but some also contain older elements. It is therefore clear that there is always something to renovate and modernise in the estate. Sometimes minor repairs are no longer enough. Then a complete renovation is due. Such a refurbishment costs around 70,000 euros per flat. But what exactly is done?
Find out more in the temporary exhibition directly in a Fuggerei flat: the ground floor flat at Mittlere Gasse 19 is due for general refurbishment in 2024. Texts, pictures and plans explain room by room which renovation measures are necessary and how they will be carried out. The work ranges from replacing materials in line with listed building requirements to barrier-free bathroom conversions. The typical Fuggerei building features and the tricks used by our experienced construction team when dealing with the different building periods in the Fuggerei are also fascinating. Every Fuggerei flat has a special "biography". Discover the history and future of this flat in the exhibition!
