The Oldest Social Housing Estate in the World
The Fuggerei in Augsburg celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2021. Jakob Fugger "the Rich" founded the terraced housing estate for the needy in 1521. 150 Augsburg citizens still live in the 140 flats of the 67 houses today. Paying only an annual (cold) rent of 0.88 euros, it is mandatory for them to say the Lord's Prayer, a confession of faith and a Hail Mary for the founder and the Fugger family once a day. Until now, the social housing estate is still maintained from Jakob Fugger's foundation assets.
