Last updated: 14.6.2025

The state of Brandenburg supports the creation and preservation of self-occupied residential property with the 'WohneigentumförderR' program, particularly through the revitalization of inner-city areas. The program offers both grants and loans for the purchase, new construction, conversion, and modernization of properties, with a special focus on age-appropriate adaptations and energy-efficient refurbishments. It is an important initiative to strengthen city centers and promote sustainable forms of housing.

Who is funded: Target Groups and Regional Focus

This funding primarily targets natural persons who wish to create or preserve self-occupied residential property in Brandenburg. Additionally, legal entities may also submit applications as part of the initial financing. The measures must be carried out within specific inner-city areas in Brandenburg to support revitalization and sustainable development.

What is funded: Project Types and Measures

The funding covers a wide range of measures for the creation and preservation of self-occupied residential property, from new construction and the acquisition of existing properties to extensive modernizations and repairs. Special attention is paid to energy-efficient refurbishments and age-appropriate adaptations, as well as to infill development and the revitalization of inner-city areas.

Type and Extent of Funding

The promotion of self-occupied residential property in Brandenburg is provided through both interest-free loans and grants. The amount of support varies depending on the project and can be topped up with various additional grants, for example, for low-income households, children, or for additional expenses related to monument preservation. Special conditions apply to initial financing, including compliance with the De minimis Regulation.

Conditions and Requirements

To receive funding, applicants must meet certain requirements, including income limits, a minimum equity contribution, and ensuring the long-term self-occupancy of the residential property. In addition, specific requirements regarding the geographical area and the economic viability of the construction project must be observed.

Application Procedure

The application procedure is handled by the Investitionsbank des Landes Brandenburg (ILB) and typically begins with a financing consultation. It requires the submission of complete documents, including an urban planning statement and proof of income. The disbursement of funds is linked to the construction progress, and approval is granted at the ILB's dutiful discretion.

The "Guidelines for the Promotion of Self-Occupied Residential Property (WohneigentumförderR)" are the primary legal basis for this program, supplemented by various laws and regulations at state and EU level. These legal bases ensure the legitimacy and framework of the funding measure in the state of Brandenburg.
