General information
The first climate-neutral district of Münchner Wohnen is being planned in the Ramersdorf climate quarter. The existing buildings will be modernized to make them more energy-efficient, and additional storeys will provide more social and affordable living space in Munich. The aim is to strengthen the neighbourhood and thus improve the quality of life for all tenants in the long term.

Cooperation
Type of co-creation
Those collaborating in the project pursue the co-creation approach intensively in only one phase of the project. In addition, the co-creation approach is applied in cross-process phases by involving people with practical and professional experience in decision-making about how to proceed.
Society involvement
Organised civial society and/or local society are involved in the project through surveys.
Continuation of the project
- Vorzeigeprojekt für weitere Bestandsquartiere mit dem Schwerpunkt: sozialen und bezahlbaren Wohnraum schaffen bei gleichzeitiger Transformation zu einem klimaresilienten, zukunftsorientieren und lebenswerten Quartier.

Organization and decision-making
Constellation of actors in daily project work
From the start, an integrated neighbourhood approach was chosen for the development of a climate-neutral and climate-resilient existing neighbourhood in Ramersdorf. Thanks to a close exchange and the involvement of the City of Munich and the Bavarian State Ministry, all fields of action are considered in a project-oriented and interdisciplinary manner. A tight and regular exchange with the municipal departments of the City of Munich already took place during the concept phase. Only this way can a unified approach in the areas of climate protection, housing creation, building efficiency, electricity and heat generation, green and open space provision, climate adaptation, climate-neutral mobility, vibrant neighbourhoods, urban quality and building culture, be pursued.
Project management
An interdisciplinary team of experts in energy planning, urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture and traffic planning was assigned to draw up an integrated district concept. The result now serves as the basis for further planning. The project is divided into three phases so that CO₂ emissions can be reduced at an early stage. This ensures rapid and gradual implementation. In the first phase, purely energy-related modernization measures are carried out. The second phase follows the serial planning approach for adding storeys to the existing buildings. The third phase will be upgraded with an urban development and open space planning competition. The stakeholders are involved in all three phases and the tenants are kept fully informed. This has led to broad public acceptance of the planned measures.
Agreements and decisions
Münchner Wohnen is the owner of the property and is therefore primarily responsible for its socially responsible, ecological and economic realisation. The City of Munich and the Bavarian State Ministry have been regularly involved and informed to ensure that this can succeed. All building law and subsidy-related matters, which are approved by the City of Munich, were coordinated at an early stage.
Result and effect
Results and impacts in terms of affordability and other ecological and social target values
As far as possible, the energy efficiency of existing buildings is being modernised while they are occupied. In addition, new buildings compensate for the deficits in the existing flat types. In the extension phase, a subsidy mix of 40 per cent is currently assumed for all newly built flats, and in the competition phase even 50 per cent. A high level of prefabrication in timber construction is aimed for to ensure rapid realisation. Interventions in the existing buildings and outdoor space will be kept to a minimum. The new and most of the existing buildings will have balconies to create private open spaces for the existing residents. All tenants will have the opportunity to purchase low-cost tenant electricity directly from the neighbourhood.
