House purchase by the end of 2022 Since April 2022, part of the group has been renting Haus Sonnhalde. The purchase of the house by UmStieg Haus GmbH should be completed by the end of the year. We want to buy it from the owner, and rising interest rates are pushing us to do it. The house will not go into private ownership, but will be owned by a GmbH that cannot sell the house again. The shareholders of the GmbH are our house association (in which all tenants are represented) and the Apartment building syndicate . ​ Buying a house together to live in as tenants and to keep it as affordable housing for future generations - how do we do that? With your support ! Whether a person can become part of our community does not depend on their wealth. That's why we stand by the rental house syndicate model. Financing with Direct Loans People who find our project worth supporting can contribute directly to us - in the form of a direct loan (so-called subordinated loan). This means they can be sure that their money is being invested transparently, socially and sustainably. The direct loans serve as equity so that you can also take out a bank loan. Because it probably won't work without a bank. ​ More info on supporting us here

Our Concept A multi-generational housing project and a seminar and education center are combined under one roof. We have s easonal cultural offers for both people from the region and tourists. The four pillars of living, learning & working and discovering are directly intertwined and enrich each other. They aim to enable a lively exchange and to promote socio-ecological sustainability. Cooperation with regional actors (civil, economic and public) is sought and the needs are combined in a meaningful way where possible. Regional networking and rural development are promoted. ​ ​ Life Multigenerational Hous ing Project ​ The Sonnhalde House offers space for up to 15 people to live together in a collective and socially-ecologically sustainable manner. This includes, among other things, striving to become self-sufficient, as well as proving each other with mutual support and relief in everyday life. Affordable, inclusive and barrier-free housing is also promoted. ​ ​ Learning & working Educational & Seminar Ce ntre ​ The house offers a place for learning. Opportunities to host educational seminars and workshops here include topics such as community building and communication, political and personal development, as well as the common good. In short: a wide range of topics that promote a future that is fair and suitable for our grandchildren. Discover ​ Cultural & T ourist Offers ​ Cultural programs (concerts, readings, festivals) can also include organic meals and guest rooms for gentle, sustainable tourism. The unique natural setting offers guests to experience the beautiful environment in the region. The region is enlivened and enriched. An impulse from the region to the region. An impulse from the region into the world. Our Mission ​ A community and seminar house is being established in the middle of the Black Forest, in which people from several generations live together in solidarity and create a place of learning for change for a social and sustainable life through seminars, guests and cultural offers. The local community creates a sustainable way of life and work for themselves and others. They live together as a collective and contribute to socio-ecological transformation in order to create a more just world for everyone. ​ ​ The UmStieg Project is a thought and practice laboratory for experimenting with a socially and ecologically just and sustainable way of life with a multiplication effect. We wish for worldwide development with equal opportunities that enables a life in peace, freedom, justice and global solidarity. While the goal is fixed, the search for new solutions is flexible and never ending. We look forward to accepting this challenge! Let's shape the future now! ​ Das Mietshäusersyndikat ​ Das Haus Sonnhalde ist kein Privateigentum, sondern wird Teil des Mietshäuser Syndikats werden. ​ Das Mietshäuser Syndikat ist ein bundesweites Netzwerk selbstorganisierter Mietshäuser. Die Gebäude sind dem Immobilienmarkt und damit der Spekulation entzogen und somit werden langfristig bezahlbare Mieten gesichert. Wesentlich am Syndikatsmodell ist, dass die Bewohner:innen zwar über alle Belange des Hauses selbst bestimmen, aber als Individuen nicht dessen Eigentümer:innen sind. Die Häuser sind Eigentum einer Hausprojekt GmbH mit zwei Gesellschafter:innen: erstens dem jeweiligen Hausverein der Bewohner:innen und zweitens der Mietshäuser Syndikat GmbH. Hausverein und Mietshäuser Syndikat haben in der GmbH Stimmengleichheit. Damit wäre ein Verkauf oder eine Umwandlung nur einvernehmlich möglich. Das Haus bleibt auf diese Weise ein gemeinschaftliches Wohnprojekt, auch wenn im Laufe der Zeit die Mieter:innen wechseln. ​ Gegründet 1992 in Freiburg, haben sich gemeinsam mit dem Mietshäuser Syndikat in den letzten 23 Jahren mittlerweile über 170 selbstverwaltete Hausprojekte und 15 Projektinitiativen zu einem festen solidarischen Verbund zusammengeschlossen. Im Mietshäuser Syndikat sind wir Teil eines erfahrenen und finanzstarken Netzwerks. Möchtest du mehr über das Mietshäuser Syndikat wissen? Dann schau dir diese ARD Reportage oder gleich die Dokumentation „Das ist unser Haus " an. Oder lass dich auf der Webseite inspirieren. ​

FAQs on Direct Lending What are direct loans? ​ Direct loans are funds that are made available to the UmStieg housing and education project by private individuals or groups. A loan agreement is concluded between the lenders and UmStieg Haus GmbH. This gives the donors the opportunity to make a transparent, social and sustainable investment that supports a politically, ecologically and socially committed house project. Low-interest direct loans are the key for the UmStieg housing project in order to ensure rents will be kept at a low level. ​ What do you get out of it as a lender? ​ We offer the certainty that your money serves a social purpose: We ensure permanent affordable housing and counteract real estate speculation. We enable long-term and social investment, where you always know where your money is and what is happening with it. Private enrichment through profits or speculation is excluded by the charter and control of the apartment building syndicate. ​ Direct loans for projects in the Apartment Buildings Syndicate are a form of solidarity investment. From a purely economic point of view, other investments may be more effective. ​ What does the prospectus exemption mean? ​ From January 1st, 2016, subordinated loans, including our direct loans, are subject to the Investment Act. Since we will not raise more than €100,000 in direct credit per offer per year, this will not change much for our project. There is no prospectus requirement according to the Asset Investment Act. ​ What does subordinated loan mean? ​ In the event of insolvency of the project, we are obliged to first serve other non-subordinated creditors, such as banks, and only then will the direct lenders be paid out. ​ Is there interest on direct loans? ​ The social character of the project is guaranteed by low interest rates. Low interest rates guarantee permanently low rents and enable us to repay bank loans more quickly. Regardless of the amount and term, you can grant your direct loan either interest-free or with a fixed interest rate of up to 1.5%, depending on the offer. You can decide whether you want the interest to be paid out annually or at the end of the term. At the end of each calendar year, you will receive a notification about the account balance and, if applicable, about interest income. ​ How high should the direct loans be? ​ Direct credits can be made available from an amount of € 500. Lower amounts are unfavorable because of the administrative burden. In addition to one-off credit payments, you can also arrange partial payments with us. ​ What is the term or notice period of the loan agreement? ​ Direct loans can be concluded for a limited period of at least one year or for an indefinite period. Loans with long maturities are preferred because they ensure a high level of security for planning and reduce our administrative costs. This is particularly important for large loans. Fixed-term direct loans end automatically after the agreed time. There are different notice periods for permanent loans, depending on the amount of the loan. We ask you to comply with the agreed terms and notice periods so that we can plan with certainty. For us, fair treatment also means that we make every effort to enable your money will be repaid early if necessary. ​ Who is responsible for filing the capital gains tax return? ​ Unlike banks, we are not entitled to withhold and pay capital gains tax. This means that you are responsible for reporting income from direct loans in your income tax return. A certificate of interest income is issued for this purpose. ​ What makes us trustworthy partners? ​ Established and Reliable community The house project UmStieg strives for the participation of Apartment buildings syndicate . For more than twenty years, economically and socially functioning projects supported by many people have existed under this umbrella throughout Germany. ​ Solid financial planning Our financing plan was drawn up in close cooperation with consultants from the Mietshäuser Syndikat and the GLS Bank. Our calculation is solid and based on the economic earning power of the house project and the educational establishment. Stable rental income and economic activities in our project serve the loans. ​ Local and transparent investment You can see where your money is and what is happening with it at any time. You will receive regular information about the development of the project. In this way, the use of your investment remains transparent.
