Wilhelmshaven-Siebethsburg „Garden town“

Target group-orientated development of a cooperative residential neighbourhood

In the listed garden town settlement of Siebethsburg in Wilhelmshaven, which is close to the inner-city, the housing cooperative as owner of the residential buildings has undertaken extensive upgrading measures to the buildings and the living environment. Part of this investment is concentrated on the housing situation of older people with the aim of helping the residents to live in the apartments for as long as possible. Apartments suitable for the elderly, a day care centre for dementia patients, an out-patient nursing facility and a meeting centre with a variety of offers for older people all belong to the diverse opportunities in the neighbourhood.
