DIW does not want housing subsidies

5.3.2020 Munich: City Planning Councillor Professor Dr. (l) Elisabeth Merk has now symbolically handed over the key to the members of the building association "Der Kleine Prinz" in Prinz Eugen Park. Their new building ensemble of atrium and point houses on Jörg-Hube-Straße is part of the ecological model settlement there. In addition to flats, two guest flats, an ice cream café and a bicycle repair workshop were built.

"The ecological model housing estate is a kind of initial spark for further timber construction projects in the city, and with the 'Kleiner Prinzen' project, an outstanding showcase project for high-quality timber construction has been created - beyond the city's borders. This is due not least to the great commitment of all those involved and the successful cooperation as and with the building consortium," Merk emphasised at the handover of the keys, which was attended not only by the members of the building consortium but also by the architects involved from the architectural firm Dressler Mayerhofer Rössler.

Around 1,800 flats as well as a primary school, kindergartens and other facilities are being built in the new Prinz-Eugen-Park urban quarter. Among the developers are a total of six cooperatives and five joint building ventures. The ecological model settlement is made up of eight individual projects. Approximately 570 flats are being built here in timber construction, 407 of which are rental flats, and various community facilities.
