Fuggerei in Augsburg - a photo on Flickriver

Die Fuggerei in Augsburg ist die älteste bestehende Sozialsiedlung der Welt. Die Reihenhaussiedlung stiftete Jakob Fugger „der Reiche“ im Jahr 1521. Heute wohnen in den 140 Wohnungen der 67 Häuser 150 bedürftige katholische Augsburger Bürger für eine Jahres(kalt)miete von 0,88 Euro. Sie sprechen dafür täglich einmal ein Vaterunser, ein Glaubensbekenntnis und ein Ave Maria für den Stifter und die Stifterfamilie Fugger. Bis heute wird die Sozialsiedlung aus dem Stiftungsvermögen Jakob Fuggers unterhalten. Das Fürstlich und Gräflich Fuggersche Familienseniorat fungiert als Aufsichtsgremium der Fürstlich und Gräflich Fuggerschen Stiftungs-Administration, die die Fuggerei und acht Fuggersche Stiftungen betreut.

The Fuggerei is the world's oldest social housing complex still in use. It is a walled enclave within the city of Augsburg, Bavaria. It takes its name from the Fugger family and was founded in 1516 by Jakob Fugger the Younger (known as "Jakob Fugger the Rich") as a place where the needy citizens of Augsburg could be housed. By 1523, 52 houses had been built, and in the coming years the area expanded with various streets, small squares and a church. The gates were locked at night, so the Fuggerei was, in its own right, very similar to a small independent medieval town. It is still inhabited today, affording it the status of being the oldest social housing project in the world.
