The world’s oldest social housing complex, the Fuggerei in Augsburg, Germany, begins the celebration of its 500th anniversary this weekend, launching a 5-week programme of interdisciplinary discussions and events about social housing and current global challenges. At the centre of the celebration is the NEXT500 Pavilion, designed by MVRDV, which opens today in the presence of numerous dignitaries and the founders of the Fuggerei, the Fugger family. Tomorrow on Saturday May 7, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, will view the exhibition housed within the pavilion, which shows an MVRDV study on the “Fuggerei of the Future”, presenting a new Fuggerei code and three proposals for new Fuggerei complexes around the world.

1521 年，奥格斯堡市银行家雅各布·福格（Jakob Fugger）出资创建了福格社区，赈济底层无力租房盖房的贫困人民。这便是德国福利房历史的开端。500 年来，入住这个社区的市民一直缴纳不变的房租：为福格家族真诚祈祷以及每年 88 分钱的房租。目前大约 150 人仍然居住在这个社区。

The Fuggerei settlement in Augsburg was donated in 1521 by Jakob Fugger for "eternity" for needy fellow citizens. Around 150 people currently live in the 67 terraced houses with 140 apartments - for three prayers a day and 88 cents a year cold rent.

“福格雷社会住房拥有 500 年的历史，它代表了奥格斯堡人民几个世纪以来共同取得的成功”，欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩说道，“这背后是令人钦佩的公民意识，同时也是企业家的远见。事实证明，始终将社会的福祉置于自己的利益之上，从而以共同的力量应对历史的挑战和日常生活中的困难，这是可以实现且能够产生巨大影响力的。欧盟对这一成就表示衷心的祝贺！”

“500 years of the Fuggerei represents the success that the people of Augsburg have achieved together over the centuries”, says Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. “Behind this is an admirable sense of citizenship, combined with entrepreneurial foresight. It has proven to be effective to always put the well-being of society above one’s own and thus to meet with common strength the historical challenges but also the hardships of everyday life. Europe offers its sincere congratulations on this achievement!”
