New build - GWG München

The MIG finally disbanded on 11 th May 1995. An advisory
board has been looking after the tenants' interests since then.
The findings of a large-scale survey, which was conducted on
the tenants of the comparison projects (in both the modernised
and the newly constructed building) three years prior
to this, on 15th December 1992, are of great interest: both
groups were extremely satisfied. Clearly, satisfaction counts for
more than just square metres and amenities. It describes a
condition that can only be sensed and not calculated rationally.
It is something to do with having not only a home but a
sense of home, coupled with the security of being in good
hands.
Although the Maikäfer Estate had no kindergartens or cafés,
schools or sports facilities, the gardens and the closeness
between the people created the sense of community that
went far beyond neighbourliness. Long-term tenants speak
of “a big family” in green surroundings. Involvement is as
much a part of the Maikäfer Estate as is a sense of tolerance
towards others. These are ingredients that every good
community needs. GWG München is endeavouring to
preserve the character of this estate, of which its residents
are an essential part.
