wagnis GmbH

The Wohnbaugenossenschaft wagnis eG is an innovative company that specializes in cooperative living. Based in Munich, Germany, wagnis aims to create vibrant and sustainable neighborhoods that promote self-help, self-management, and self-responsibility.

• Cooperative Living: wagnis offers its members the opportunity to actively participate in the planning and management of their housing projects. Residents are "tenants in their own house" and have a lifelong right to reside in ecologically sustainably built homes[1][4].
• Inclusive and Intergenerational Communities: The projects include individual apartments as well as communal spaces that promote exchange and interaction[1].
• Linking Living, Working, Social, and Cultural Aspects: wagnis integrates various uses to create diverse living environments[1].

The mission of wagnis is to develop innovative and future-oriented forms of housing based on Courage, Pioneering Spirit, Responsibility, Community, and Innovation. These values are reflected in the participatory processes and the promotion of sustainability[1].

• Ecological Sustainability: wagnis focuses on building passive houses and integrates photovoltaic systems with tenant electricity concepts[3].
• Social Sustainability: The projects promote inclusive and intergenerational forms of housing as well as the integration of people with disabilities[5].
• Neighborhood Networking: wagnis initiates neighborhood initiatives and creates vibrant neighborhoods by linking living, working, and culture[1][5].

Through these approaches, wagnis not only creates living space but also real living environments that are both ecologically and socially sustainable.
