The year 2019 is the year of Bauhaus: the world-famous school of design and architecture is turning 100 years old. To this day, the revolutionary ideas of the company’s founder, Walter Gropius, and the Bauhaus architects remain popular and well known. But what exactly is so fascinating about Bauhaus? What can today’s architects learn from Bauhaus? Can Bauhaus-inspired ideas be found in Deutsche Wohnen’s portfolio?

In keeping with these difficult times, this exhibition explores different ideas about living spaces. At the same time, these spaces are also thinking spaces in which we can address our current situation in life and our desires. We invite you to the opening of this exhibition at 7 pm on Wednesday, 7th December 2022 in the foyer of Deutsche Wohnen SE, Mecklenburgische Straße 57, 14197 Berlin. The speakers will be: Marko Rosteck, Head of Corporate Communication, Deutsche Wohnen SE, Dr Ralf Hartmann, Head of the Cultural Office in Spandau.

Because of construction work in the building it was not possible to hold exhibitions here for a long time. And then came the Covid-19 pandemic, which at the time put paid to all the plans we had in the pipeline. However, despite this second lockdown, we have prepared a new exhibition which the public will be able to visit in compliance with whatever restrictions to combat the spread of the virus apply at the time.

The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Deutsche Wohnen SE ("Deutsche Wohnen") today published a joint statement on the voluntary public takeover offer by Vonovia SE ("Vonovia") pursuant to Section 27 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz – WpÜG). In this statement, both parties come to the conclusion that the offer is in the best interest of Deutsche Wohnen, its shareholders, customers and employees, and therefore recommend shareholders to accept Vonovia’s offer. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board have independently examined and evaluated the conditions of the offer and also taken into account fairness opinions provided by five financial advisors. Both boards believe that the offer is fair and adequate and offers Deutsche Wohnen shareholders the opportunity for a secure, timely and fair realization of value.

Deutsche Wohnen SE (“Deutsche Wohnen”) and Vonovia SE (“Vonovia”) continue to pursue a business combination of both companies in partnership. In this context, Vonovia plans to launch a renewed improved voluntary public takeover offer for all outstanding shares of Deutsche Wohnen in the near future. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Deutsche Wohnen support the planned offer.
