Located in Augsburg, Germany, is renowned as the oldest social housing complex in the world, an enclave called Fuggerei established in 1521 by a wealthy merchant. What makes Fuggerei truly unique is its rent, which has remained unchanged for over 500 years. Residents pay an annual rent of just 0.88 euros (about $1), making it the cheapest rent in the world.
The complex consists of 67 houses with 140 apartments, all charmingly preserved in their original Renaissance style. Each apartment has modern amenities, maintaining a balance between historical significance and contemporary living standards. Fuggerei isn’t just a place to live; it’s a living testament to enduring social welfare and the idea that affordable housing can be sustainable over centuries. This combination of historical preservation and social responsibility makes Fuggerei a fascinating example of long-term charitable housing.

Welp time to convert to Catholicism.
Also crazy how a 1500s merchant was more caring than today's landlords.
Well. Time to book a plane ticket and get a religion
I would but I Can’t, I easily get sus out on the first day 🤣
Yeah, but you have to be a strict practicing Catholic.
As a catholic, nothings gonna change, so, sign me up!
For 96 cents, praise Jesus.
Americans love to shit on the Catholics but this is pretty badass. Also they run 18,000 free clinics around the world and look how our medical system in the u.s. is…. Very much not free.
If it was in america and wasn't filled with the worst of people, yes.
but you cant so why lie
There is no property tax n Germany.
Looks like I'm catholic now.
Romans 3:23 states: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;". We are all sinners, that have committed at least one sin in our lives, which earns us an eternal punishment in Hell. Revelation states 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.". God sent his Son, Jesus, to Earth as a perfect sinless sacrifice. To take on all the sins of the world; both past, present, and future sins. Shedding his blood on the cross as a blood atonement for all sins. After dying on the cross, he rose from the dead on the 3rd day and rose to Heaven. To show life after death. To show everlasting life through Jesus's sacrifice. John 14:6 states: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.". Romans 10:13 states "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.".
Eternal life in heaven is just one prayer away. All you have to do is believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for your sins. As an atonement for your sins. And rose from the grave on the 3rd day. Ask Jesus to save you of your sins and give you eternal life in Heaven. Salvation is a free and everlasting gift from God. Please don't let pride drag you into eternal punishment in Hell, but ask Jesus to give you eternal life in Heaven. If you're getting a strong feeling of resistance while reading this, it's because Satan doesn't want you to get saved. He wants you to resist, and think it's not real. He wants you in Hell for all eternity with him. Hell is not a fun place, like worldly people like to imagine. It's everlasting torture with no relief. I'm only taking the time to text this, because I want to get the message out. There are so many distractions in life keeping people from witnessing to other people. Keeping people from thinking about salvation. Keeping you from thinking about life after death. Please, ask Jesus into your hearts to save you of your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Ask him for a place in Heaven, and he will save you from eternal damnation in Hell.
I've been there with my school! Really lovely place 🥰
It's surprising that they're even allowed to discriminate based on religion and require participation in religious ritual in order to qualify.
The 10pm thing also seems legally shaky that you're allowed to more or less lock people into or out of their homes that way.
It may have made sense 500 years ago, but you'd expect that by now laws have caught up making this illegal.
Definitely. The curfew is the only bad thing (you can pretend to be Catholic easily), but if I wanted to stay out, all that money you save could go towards the "hotel room" budget. Not to mention, if you find yourself a nice girl who doesn't need to run around all night, you could have a pretty comfy life in one of these places. Saving an astronomical amount on rent no matter where you live. Literally thousands of times less expensive.
Damn, I'm not Catholic or I would right now.
Lost me at "worship my sky daddy rapist" cult
I abandoned catholicism decades ago but now I see it was a big mistake…
Well I'm catholic and I have a dollar
2pm might be a dealbreaker!!!!
People who aren't catholic or christian, can't they go to temples instead? Or pray at their home altar? In modern day, it does sounds a little ridiculous.
