Lively and liveable neighbourhoods
District, area, neighbourhood – many words that all mean the same thing: a place or a way of life that’s all about living and well-being. Because it’s not just your own four walls that make life good. It’s what surrounds you, too. The neighbours, the green and leisure spaces, the amenities, the schools and nurseries, and the transport connections.
More than a home
Your own home has a major impact on your well-being, as does the area or neighbourhood in which it is located. The architects who designed the six Estates of Berlin Modernism – UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2008 – knew this, too. Deutsche Wohnen owns four of them – a jewel in our crown and, at the same time, a huge responsibility.

Our 1920s and 1930s UNESCO World Heritage estates also serve as useful examples of architecture and urban planning centred on residents’ needs today. Their bright, spacious rooms, balconies and bathrooms, gardens and green space were all revolutionary in their day. Today, we are working intensively and practically with future-forward concepts like “smart homes” and “home sharing” – as we firmly believe that they will help to shape the quality of life in urban neighbourhoods in the near and distant future.
A new home for bees
Together with our tenants, we create new homes for endangered species of wild bees in the middle of our neighbourhoods.
